I too am interested in this and would like to know how you might recover 
something if it were corrupted.

Note, I'm not using Time Machine in any way unless it's working behind the 
scenes. I have not set it up, nor do I have external backup media, beyond small 
flash drives.

Hi listers,

I've been playing a while now with versioning in text edit. The concept, I now 
understand for a small part. But doing it is a different matter. I've been 
reading the help within text edit, but it doesn't say much about versioning, 
except that it keeps versions on a daily, weekly and monthly bases. I'm 
interested to learn how this works.

When you open text edit, you can now simply type away, and if I am correct, you 
can forget about saving your document. I tried this, and indeed it is true. You 
can now hit command q, and text edit will close.

1. Where would text edit keep the test document I just typed?
2. Has any of you played with the versioning system, enough to know how we can 
use it? I'm hoping someone who writes a lot may be able to fill in the gap in 
my knowledge here.

Sometimes, I find a versions menu with VoiceOver. But when I try to test the 
feature, it won't appear. Here's what I do.
1. I fire up text edit and type a few lines.
2. Hit command q to quit text edit.
3. Reopen txt edit and the document is still there.
4. Now command a, to select all, and  backspace to delete the text.
. Close text edit.
6. Open it again and you have a blank document.
7. I try to find the versions menu but it seems not to be there.

How does one make a productive start with versioning in text edit?

Interested to learn about this. I type a lot, but I am used to saving things 
explicitly. However, the new versioning system can come in handy when I make a 
miss edit, save it, and would later love to revert. If you have any pointers 
where to find blind friendly information on version, I'm interested.

Paul
