Sorry , I should have been more specific in my earlier message.

I am still using the OLD version of CygnusEd, I just sent for the new one.

While using the OLD version, some times I would crash the computer, because of
another unreliable program I was using at the same time. The cause of the crash
was completely due to my use of this other program.

However, I would find these files called CygnusEdTempA.623 and so on.
They are blank directory entries.  I have even used programs like Diskmaster
and CLIMATE to try and delete them.  As you know, using these programs
avoids any typing or naming errors, so that is not the problem.  BTW the
file length is zero (I think).

I found I can repeat the error if I save a file from CED, and then reboot
too quickly.  It seems that it accesses the drive, waits for 2 secs, and then
accesses it again.

So anyways, some times while running some buggy program or another, I crash
the computer, and if I am also running CED, I get these undeletable files
with the name CygnusEdTemp.xxx .  And I cannot delete them, no matter what
program I use (delete, climate, diskmaster,diskutil, ect).  Not that they cause
any problems, its just strange.  Perhaps DiskSalv could clean them up.
