Its only "gone completely" if you don't create more that 1 index tag (.CDX). As soon as you create the second tag, the .CDX file does not automatically go away when you USE IN the cursors alias. You have to close the cursor and manually remove the .CDX file. It seems to work OK for no tags or if you create just one.
