Keith,

Thanks for your kind words.  

If you open a 'New Blank Chart' and either double-click on an AFL, or drag an AFL onto the chart, you will create an auto-numbered copy in the DD folder in either case.

That's because these actions are shortcuts for Insert.  

The only way to Insert Linked is to right-click on the AFL and choose Insert Linked explicitly.

If you wish the use of Insert Linked, you are going to have to break all double-click and dragging habits and form a new habit of choosing Insert Linked manually every time.
