i was working with a file named route2 and somehow it changed to route2_2:1
and route2_2:2. How do I delete the new files and return to the origina?. How
did I create the new files????

Thanks for the reply Nick. On my memory stick the file shows as route 2. When
I open it it opens up as route 2:1 and route 2:2 under the window drop down.
I tried closing one of the files but it closes both versions at he same time
so I cannot save the original. Any other suggestion and how did I create this
mess?

If you're displaying the 2:2 window, and you hit:
<Ctrl> <W>
You'll see the 2:2 change to 2, meaning you closed *only* the duplicate
window.

NOW, save the file while there's *no :2*.

As Nick explained,
Each time you click (accidentally or intentionally),
<Window> <New Window>,
You create a *copy* of the sheet.
This is great for being able to display different sections of the same sheet
*or* file at the same time, by going back into <Window>, and choosing
<Arrange>, and configuring your screen to different display modes.
