"Proceed" is an error message? No beep, no  flag, no fuss. There's
nothing more irritating -- apart from yet-another-instance of this endless
carping nonsense -- than an unnecessary SAve of a long document (as Xy4
still performs with removable media drives, and Xy3 performed always),
during which XyWrite goes into a coma.

If you want succinct -- real skimpy/fast KBD files --
 instead of
BX,(,d, ,w,f,=,0,),SA,BX,(,d, ,w,f,=,1,)
 do
BX,d, ,w,f,=,0,Q2SABX,d, ,w,f,=,1,Q2
 Parens do not save space or memory in the KBD file. Commas
 consume memory & slow execution.
