Editor Buffer Pool management of Recovery Files

Most of the Natural applicative programmers do not delete their Recovery Files - which results from time to time in an overflowed EBP.

My suggestion is to:

(a) Make a timeout parameter for Recovery Files as well (same as FTOUT for Logical Files).

(b) Make several USRs to:

- Delete selective Recovery Files (by user, by date, by size etc.).

- List pending Recovery Files (again - by user, by date, by size etc.).

- List users with Recovery Files pending (in order to, for example, send mail notifications).
