Re: Automatic Saves when typing



Carl,

You might check out the Jumbo U2's "Ersatz Autosave" routine
(command HELP AUTOSAVE for details).  Actually, it makes
use of the DiaLoG file (.DLG) file rather than U2, for reasons
explained in the Help screen.  It's slicker than assigning a brute-
force SAve command to a key, because it only SAves if a minimum time
interval (user-adjustable via XYWWWEB.REG) has passed since the last
SAve.  I've been using it for 5+ years, and I can't tell you how
many times it's come to the rescue.

But if it saves under the files own name, you can't ABort and get back to the unchanged version, right? I do that often. Second-thoughts-itis. No, wait, make that Monday-Morning-Quarterback-itis. No, back to Second-thoughts-itis. (Another self-referential exemplification.)
