Description
I had already a text variable `History` that was saved in a file `History.apla`.
Recently I added `text:plain` to the Link configuration file.
In such a case the contents of the file `History.apla` is correctly established on a variable `History` in the APL workspace. But because of the new setting, when one changes the variable in the editor, the change is **_not_** written back to file by Link.
The reason for this is that Link compiles the filename as `History.vec.apla`, and then checks whether that file is already on disk. It's not, and because of that Link does not do anything.
That's not what should happen. As a user of Link, of course I expect Link to process this accordingly:
* Save the changes in `History.vec.apla`
* Delete the file `History.apla`
