I had a look at that tab. It didn't take much time at all to compile the 
list of three, so I have to assume that the delete happened right away. 
I'm currently recording a couple of programs. After we look at them, 
I'll try the various processes of un-deleting, assuming the thing I set 
to -1 does what I interpreted it to do.

Thanks for the idea.
