Backup functionality

WSedit supports two kinds of backup functionality which can be set in the Save Page of the settings notebook.

With a specific time delay, WSedit saves the content of the editor into an ASCII file (even the current file is in WS format). The name of the file is always the same. It is located in the directory where the text file resides.

WSedit writes the text to the backup file every e.g. 3 minutes, but waits for a moment where for e.g. 5 seconds no character key was pressed.

In addition, you can let rename the old text file to *.BAK when the file is saved by the user.
