That usually works for me too, Ed. Sometimes, there's just too much garbage,
I guess and the compiler gets confused. I usually erase all but the source
files, as this helps make sure the compile was complete, and also "may"
expose any error/warning messages that went unnoticed in prior compiles on
other files.

For instance, if I'm fixing an error in one file, but the other file had, a
warning, let's say....the warning won't be reissued because that file wasn't
recompiled in the interim. So even though the warning was issued prior,
remaking the entire application has the added benefit of rechecking one's
work and reissuing error/warning messages.
