When I want to edit a bunch of files, I, for example:
 
   C:\WORK\>e -a *.*
 
and proceed to work on them in order, using Alt-N to proceed to
the next file in the ring.
 
Are there switches/options that will do the following:
 
1.  Load the files in alphabetical order.  They currently seem to
    load in un-sorted directory order.
 
2.  Not load any .BAK files that are in the directory.  ???
 
In more detail, the problem is as follows.  I sort all files in a
subdirectory using Norton's DS.EXE.  I load all files in the
subdirectory and start working on them.  I get interrupted and
have to do something else, so I save all and exit, with .BAK
turned on.  The files are no longer in their original order
(since the .BAK file takes the place, unsorted, of the original),
so when I go back to this task, they load in a different order
and the .BAK files are in the ring which I don't want.  If what I
am doing uses another application, I guess I could just save
state on exit (I haven't tried that feature), but if what I do
after exiting uses TSE (loads other files), I'm not sure how to
handle it (load more files without destroying the saved state;
save multiple states???).  I don't see this discussed in any
"finished" way in the help or manual.
 
Thanks for your help.
