Just want to add one more clarification to this. I believe the program copy with "~" at the end is created to preserve the state of the file just before your last save. It might also create it at the time of a crash, not sure. I always have both the "^" and "~" versions and have not experienced many crashes with 2011 MR1 so I am fairly certain that it does not only create that file as a result of a crash. I believe the idea is that you have one file that preserves the state of the file at the beginning of your work session = "^", another that preserves the state just prior to the last save = "~" and then you have the actual current file. It is a pain to go back and clean up after this system but it has saved me from a few wrong turns thus far and overall seems like a workable solution until they can figure out how to stabilize the software (which, hopefully, is the ultimate goal) or move this behavior behind the scenes as 12345 mentions.
