What is the file in the .OA directory called USERNAME.CTX used for?
What harm is done if this is deleted? Does it get recreated as its
needed?

� What is the file in the .OA directory called USERNAME.CTX used for?
It stores the PASTE buffers and rulers for the WPS and EDT editors.

If you delete it, ALL-IN-1 just creates a new one the next time you use
one of those editors. BTW, the help in the EDT editor is wrong for the
saving a ruler. The help text from WPS is correct.
Do you have some user who cut out 40K blocks and then wonders where all
his quota went? If he/she just cuts something else into that buffer,
ALL-IN-1 will delete all the extra blocks.

thanks ben.
i had some users who had .CTX file from 1985. it only used 1 block out
of 3400 allocated. so they wanted to clean up some of their unused
space and saw these files. couldn't find anything in any books on it.
