|2. What does the '~' after a filename mean? Is this a deleted file
|that can be undeleted? I tried man file, filename, ~, undelete, and
vim uses that as a edit-backup. foo.py foo.py~ and foo.py~ will be an
older version. Other programs may do this as well. For configuration
files I keep a .orig eg: hosts.orig
I've seen you posting alot about trying out different editors so I'll
assume that's what your ~ files are.
