alice-teacher backup files

[EILEEN PELUSO]

I highly recommend allowing at least one backup.  I was working with
high school students in a fairly locked-down environment where the
system controls did not allow Alice to generate any automatic backups. 
On the rare occasions when Alice would generate an error message which
we could not get out of, the students lost all of their work.  Our
work-around was to have students save their worlds occasionally under
another name, in effect creating their own backups.

In the Edit menu bar, select Preferences.  In the "Seldom Used" tab,
the last option allows
you to set the number of backups.

Hope that helps,
Wanda

We are having memory problems.  How can we set the default  to have no
backups for the machines for new users?  We are stand alones that are
networked.
 
Thanks
