     When the guy who set up our club's BBS left town,
I was elected to take it over.  Dave had been a DOS
batch file guru - he was always being asked for help
with batch files by the rest of us.
     Looking thru his files, I came to the conclusion
he never deleted a line - he'd REM it out.  There would
be a complete record of his 3rd, 4th, 5th...10th
attempt to get something to work, or changing how it
worked!
