(yet another mpex question :-)

hi again!

at least for a change i'm not asking how to do something in
mpex :-)

if i say 'altfile <somefileset>;xltrim' -- what really
happens?  is mpex working directly on each file or does it
make a 'work' copy?  if it's making a copy, i'm guessing
there's only one copy file in existence at a given
moment?           - d

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.
