Buried fossil templates under newer templates

[Guy Rixon]

I lot of Templot operations, particularly those involving the Tools menu, seem to generate new, good templates and leave behind in the background the templates from which the new ones were made. In particular the link commands do this. It can be quite hard to select and remove the old templates, particularly when they are almost the same as the new templates; there's nothing sticking out to click on to select them.

Probably I'm doing something wrong (again). Is there a cleverer way to clean these up? I've tried the template list in the box dialog, but it's not very easy to find the fossils in that list.

hi guy,

hold down the SHIFT key or put the CAPS LOCK on. As you move the mouse over the name labels, the relevant template will highlight. Until you find the one you want to delete. Then click on the name label to get its menu.

i've written this so many times over the years i think i could type it in my sleep.
