I guess this is working properly. At least, as
I *open* files they get added to this list. Maybe
the problem is my style of work. I tend to have
a number of files open in the Workbench. I suppose
I am looking for the "last file I closed accidentally"
rather than the "last file I opened". Maybe I'll
have to learn to be more disciplined about working
on one file at a time.

I think when I am debugging a program I probably
open any number of files as I follow the program
execution through the file. The files I open are
not really the files I am interested in, but they
"take over" the recent file list. When I look for
the file I *am* interested in, it's not on the list.

Anyway, sorry for maligning the Workbench unfairly. :-)

Cheers,

David
