I currently use a system that keeps track of the previous infile locations,
the previous file(s), and the previous programs/tools.  It is very
handy to be able to do this, but it *does* have some drawbacks.  One is
that there is a finite number of such things that can be kept track of,
so occasionally you lose track of the nth-back thing (the computer does, 
anyway - you may still remember it yourself); the other main drawback is
that sometimes you *don't* want to keep track of everything you just did.

You can't win, really.  Either the system tries to keep track of *everything*
and makes it really confusing to go back through the ring structures after
being online for a couple of hours, or the user must issue an
explicit command to either "save" or to "don't save" when interrupting to
somewhere else.
