Suppose I want to back up a bunch of different items, miscellaneous stuff, from my desktop onto one floppy. What keeps each successive thing you download to the floppy from going on top of the last one instead of after it? I'm sure PMS can answer that much better than me but it's my understanding that each file you put on the floppy will be put in the freee space available. It won't overwrite anything unless you are sending an identically named file and then your machine will ask you if you mean to overwrite the file or cancel. If you try to put a file that is too large for the available room you will be told there's not enough space to allow this. As Dennis Miller would say, "then again, I could be wrong." tc :-)
