Scott, 
What he is saying is to check the old/new buffer and see if they differ at 
all.  A lot of times an edit program does an UPDATE when actually no 
update was really performed.  Thus you've lost your old history if you 
update the timestamp.

That is why it is a good idea to use a trigger to update the
"job stamp" info, then it is consistently updated regardless of
what other programs do.
