AS I understand it binkley.scd is the binary version of your events.  
Binkley.day is what has been processed that day.

SO, if you delete both, as you're supposed to be if you
change your event file, then the e1 event covering that
period of time *will* run.  That's normal behavior.

I do not know if this will hold if you start binkley with
the noforce command line, it might not in that case, but
will rebuild both binary files.

What I do if i have to rebuild because I've had to change
the event file is build a temporary batch file that, when
the e1  exit is taken as it would be, just loops back, and
restarts the normal batch file that invokes binkleyterm.
THis way, especially for such events as morning maintenance, etc. we don't 
confuse things.

HOpe that's of assistance to you, but the behavior you note
is normal.


Regards,
