The preferences file allows the command )save mywsid to save mywsid and if an existing file of that name exists, it creates a backup titled mywsid.xml.bak (highlighted for this discussion)
The name of the backup file is not indicated, and how to load it is not documented. I am in the process of so doing.
Discussion
The backup, if it is desired to load it for recovery by gnu-apl can be loaded with )load mywsid.xml.bak.
Two questions/points to ponder
if I )load mywsid.xml.bak, and I subsequently perform a )save what is re-saved is mywsid.xml.bak and at the same time I presume that a new backup "mywsid.xml.bak.xml.bak" is created.
1) So should loading of backup files be internally messaged into dropping the .xml.bak ? I think yes.
2) If I do a )drop mywsid should it also drop the mywsid.xml.bak ? I think yes and perhaps even the mywsid.xml.bak.xml.bak Currently, it does not.
