Backups should use the original name plus an increment.
If your system crashes, you reboot and find out you have 15 copies of
fred???.bak
The most recent file would be fred15.bak
If you go back into you editor, and open fred.txt without moving your
backup copies, they should be deleted.
A backup directory should be created in the working directory if one
doesn't already exist. All backup files for all open files are saved to
the common backup directory.

JFE will only let you execute a file that has been saved, obviously.
But it provides the autosave as an option. If you don't use autosave and
attempt to execute the an open, edited file, it will complain.
Pete, if you haven't already, I'd suggest taking a look at JFE. There
are a few things that I don't like about the editor. But overall, it's
simple to use, and has lots of flexibility. It's mainly designed for C,
but works well for EU too. I'm able to use it to catalog the routines in
my EU files, so I can use the C function list. If you have exoticaX, and
use JFE, you would see what I mean.
JFE also provides the ability to add 'Tools', which are externally
execute programs. You can specify the properties for executing each
tool, IE the command line. I like the macro system too. Although it
could be improved quite a bit.
