I've defined a key to abandon 1 file without any warning message and 
without saving the file, and another to abandon several, also without 
warning and without saving.

I made sure that the key combos were ones I wouldn't hit by accident 
or without thinking. (Not the same thing!) Nor can my cats hit them. 
They involve moving my right hand over to the far left of the 
keyboard, while at the same time holding down Shift+Alt or Ctrl+Shift+Alt.

The key definition for abandoning one file is:

##=bx,a,b,q2

To abandon several, just repeat the definition as many times as you 
usually have files open at once:

##=bx,a,b,q2,bx,a,b,q2,bx,a,b,q2,bx,a,b,q2,bx,a,b,q2,bx,a,b,q2,bx,a,b,q2,bx,a,b,q2....and 
so forth.

Best wishes

Mary
