Rich,
	I couldn't duplicate your bug exactly here at home.  I did
however remember that dbase often does not update the file structure/dir
info to the disk until you do something outside of that file.  For
instance, I use the "use" command with no arguments to close a database
file.  Then the dir command looks OK.
	Quit is supposed to take care of file cleanup for you without
additional commands.  I have had my problems with files that I QUIT out
of in programs, etc.  So I slways use a close or a close databases
before I quit, especially if I have added or changed info in that
session.  then I call the QUIT command.  Works for me.
