Template transformed itself into a database?

texte = I've been working on my site with the demo version of WebCat 2.1. Things have been going great, and one by one, I'm making the templates do just what I want. Incredible program. Wow. However...Today I was experimenting with group fields, and when I tested the search, I got just a text stream of the database for my result. I checked the new code, flushed Netscape's cache, reloaded pages, flushed templates and commited the database, but it did no good. I had the results template open, but I wasn't working on it. Only the Search template and the database itself were being changed and saved. (Everything is a trial at this point; the database is fake and they aren't public pages.) I inspected the open results.tpl doc, and it looked okay. For the heck of it, I closed it, and said no when it asked if I wanted to save (SimpleText). A few minutes later I reopened the results.tpl, and much to my horror, it now consists of the most recent revision of my database. No more carefully crafted results.tpl.How can this be? Was I doing something wrong to let this happen? Is it a no-no to flush the template cache and commit databases while they're open on the desktop? I was using my 8600 for the browser, and using Timbuktu (on the 8600) to diddle with the actual pages on the 7350 across the room. SimpleText was the text editor. The web server is running WebStar 2.1 and sys 8.1; the 8600 is running sys 7.5.5.Terry Wilson :(
