additional file extensions when using PE6

I've noticed, that ever since I started using PE6 that:
when one does a save, in addition to the xyz.bas file, there is an additional xyz.bas.settings file.

What is the purpose? is that a necessary file or just a convenience file?

The .settings file contains bookmarks, breakpoints and similar information which the PE6 editor uses which is not stored in the actual source code .bas file. Without the .settings file you would lose those if the .bas file is closed then opened later.
