That's weird.. I always cd into Descent's directory, run it as normal, 
and do a normal shutdown by selecting quit; the .swp file remains.  It's 
not really a problem, I'll just put 'del *.swp' at the end of my batch 
file.  

BTW: the commandline in my batch file disables all the unused drivers, 
and -lowmem in attempt to get the best frame rate.. which brings up 
another question:

Doom used dots in the status bar to indicate frame rate.  Is there such 
an indicator in Descent?

Makes sense.
