“Discard Changes?” on Exit

When you are using random, permanent scratch files, Qedit needs to purge them when it terminates. But you may not have saved your editing work yet. In that case, Qedit asks you “Discard changes?” and will not Exit/Purge unless you answer Yes:

  :qedit.pub.robelle myfile  /visual  /exit  Discard your changes [no]:  /  

Qedit can supply Extra Scratch Files as well as the Primary Scratch file. These too are checked on Exit to see if you left any edits unsaved.
