Two Files Created For Every One?

Hello,

my linux box is, for some reason, creating two files when I creat one. For example, if I create a file via the VI editor called TestFile, the box will create:

TestFile
TestFile~

Does anyone have any ideas as to why I'm getting that second file with the ~ at the end of it?

Thanks.

The file with the "~" is a backup file created automatically
by vi when you make a change to the original.
Check your vi settings and turn this feature off
if you don't want it.
