How do you Delete a personality that you are actually editing? > >jorge Firstly, I'm sure you're aware that personalities from CM8000 cannot be used in CM9000. This is probably why the program will not let you delete them, because it tries to be "smart" about not letting a user delete files that weren't created with the current version. Secondly, when a personality file is loaded for editing, it isn't kept "open" with respect to the Windows file system. The file's CONTENTS have been loaded into the editor, and then the file is closed. So, you can actually load a file, modify it, and then delete it before saving the modifications. jm
