fixup: renamed "backups" to "recovery files"
* Other editors call "backup files" previous copies of saved files. This role would be served by savepoint files in SciTECO. * Likewise filename~ would point to such a backup file. It therefore makes sense that savepoint files also end in tildes (.teco-n-filename~). * Security copies of modified buffers would be called "auto-saves" (Emacs) or "swap files" (Vim). Both of these terms is IMHO misleading, so SciTECO now uses the term "recovery file". * "Recovery files" are now named #filename# just like in Emacs.

This makes it even harder to destroy work by accident than in most other
editors.
Rubbed out commands can be re-inserted (redo).
-* Timing-based backup mechanism
+* Timing-based recovery mechanism:
+ Modified buffers are regularily dumped into **#**_files_**#** to protect against
+ crashes and unexpected restarts etc.
* Munging: Macros may be munged, that is executed in batch mode. In other words, SciTECO
can be used for scripting.
By default, a profile is munged.
