Thank you David Cousens for your reply, I have studied it to great benefit.
One question I have is whether the mainfile can be automatically stored in
its own directory through a setting, or if I need to move the mainfile to
its own directory manually. Also, should this be done on a regular basis,
or only when attempting to recover from a crash.
