The autosave feature as everyone has formally known it has been removed as of V2011 MR1. The reasoning behind the change has to do with stability of PC-DMIS while running a program and PC-DMIS attempting to execute an autosave. The replacement for autosave is a new system which creates duplicates of your programs both when you first open the program and when it crashes. When you first open a program it will create a duplicate with a ^ on the end of the file extension. So for example "test.prg" would have a copy made in the same location named "test.prg^" when the program is first opened. In the case of a crash PC-DMIS attempts to create a copy of the program at the time of the crash with a ~ on the end of it, so "test.prg~" shows up if there is a crash. In the case of wanting to use one of these backups all you need to do is from windows explorer rightclick the file, click rename, and delete the extra character off the end of the extension.
