How do you guys manage to keep your code... managed?

Everything else that doesn't fall into one of the other PB categories.

Well, personally, I use MS Visual SourceSafe. Regardless, use something to get the benefits of version control, file comparison, and rollback. I'm certainly not dissing PB's internal tools..., I love PB! My personal preference is to use a standalone tool, as I store documents, pictures, passwords and pdf's with it.

Please, don't use Visual Source Safe!

It has a habit of corrupting your work!
C provides the infinitely-abusable goto statement, and labels to branch to. Formally, the goto is never necessary, and in practice it is almost always easy to write code without it. We have not used goto in this book. -- K&R (2nd Ed.) : Page 65

Let's not scare people. We've been using VSS in a small shop since 1997 with no problems. I can't speak for large, distributed shops though.

You might want to try History Viewer.
It installs into the PB-IDE and you won't ever have problems with back- and forth-versioning or deleted codes.
(And you don't have to fight with overgrouded versioning-tools)
