Re: Strange SA/NV behavior

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Carl, thanks for looking. It must be some setting (maybe in SETTINGS.DFL)
because I just decoded what I emailed the list, and I still get the same
wrong behavior.
Also the workaround of using "STore" instead of "SAve" eliminates the
problem (without) retyping the filename. And I just tried replacing the
STore with the SA/nv and the problem reappeared. Finally, I tried the
non-TAME version of Xy, and got the same problem.
Just in case you have a brainstorm, I've attached my SETTINGS.DFL. and
STARTUP.INT.

But perhaps it's not worth pursuing.

I've tried your "actual code" on two machines, and I can't reproduce
the error. The PM saves (overwrites) file ARCHIVE.NEW, as expected,
every time. I suspect the error message is due to a mistake in your
original code (a typo in the filename?), and that you inadvertently
corrected the error when you posted the code here.
