   They go nowhere.   
      
   Its a flag from back outof the stone age (DOS era), *indicating* that the   
   file has changed, and /needs to be/ backupped (after which the backup   
   program is suposed to reset the flag).   
      
   Try it out: clear the flag and see that it stays cleared, until you do   
   something with it.
