subject: Swap file troubles and some other stuff

 Hi All,
 I'm a happy Q.EXE user for quite some time now, and recently got TSEjr/2 to
 work with on my home system. At work I'm still stuck with DOS though. :-(
 I use it for development work and frequently shell out to DOS. After such
 actions I notice that the swapfile isn't deleted. This leaves anoying 110K
 files on my disk. Has this something to do with file attributes you use and
 look for while creating/removing these swapfiles? We work in a SafeGuard-ed
 environment which doesn't allow fiddeling with attributes like attrib does.
 Another thing that bugs me is the path on the status bar. I use rather long
 paths to keep all different projects and stuff separated. This often leads
 to the effect that I can't see the filename of the file I'm working on.
 Could this be worked on so three dots take the place of the middle part of
 the path resulting in a string that fits the screen.
 Have fun,
        Jaap Keuter
