I don't really need to know, but a new file is created with each new .bas program. It is obviously used for editor setup, but is this explained anywhere, the details ? Yeah, I'm one those guys who wants to know a little about anything, at lest enough to be dangerous.
any description of this file anywhere on PicAxe forums ?

.bas files, used to save your PICAXE program, are quite deliberately simple raw text files.

As such they cannot hold extra 'non-textual' information used when editing/simulating - a good example of this is the position of line breakpoints used for interrupting a program simulation.

This extra information is saved in a separate 'settings' file so that the next time the .bas file is loaded these settings can be reapplied.
