Recursively adding files to Visual Source Safe

Ok first off, I have to say I hate Visual Source Safe (VSS)!
Actually hate isn't right I despise it, I loath it, it is the worst source control software I have ever used! Well I feel better getting that of my chest.

Anyway back to the reason for this post. If you need to recursively add files and folders to VSS you simple drag the folder from Windows Explorer and drop in in the correct location in your VSS project.
You might think there is a menu option to do this but there isn't. You may also think well if I hit insert I will be asked to recursively add, and you would be wrong. Then you may think Let me look in the doc, maybe it is a command line option, good luck.

Anyway I hope I am not the only id10t to forget how to do this and had to go hunting for it.

Thank you for your comments. I must admit I have been slacking when it comes to my blog and really need to update it.

Whenever I open up safari or calendar in safari, after around 3 or 4 minutes and closes it and goes to the main page (with all the application icons). How can I stop my iphone from doing this? I want to actually use these applications without my iphone closing them. Thanks!
