Ahh, yes. That filename wasn't obvious till hindsight.

And now that I look at the directory with Full Info and date order,
behold the three files Hotlist, URL and Cookies at the top of the
list, stamped with the exact time I shut down last night.

I'll put in a formal feature suggestion (via Sourceforge?) that
additions to Hotlist ought to save themselves immediately (or the user
being given a chance to save them manually, at least).

I can't be the only Netsurf user who has ever lost stuff like this
because of the machine losing power or freezing, and Netsurf not
having the chance to quit correctly.
