Point well taken, Maben. I've revised Ersatz so as to modify this
behavior. To install the modification, issue NABFRM DG,$A,
delete the existing frame $A from your DLG file, and CoPy in the
frame below (after DECODEing, of course). Do NOT SAve or STore the
DLG file; rather, issue LOADHELP to reLOAD it. Then ABort
the DLG file. You're done.

There is one extrinsic requirement. When you display a footnote or
other embedded command for editing, you MUST use U2 frame EF to open
and close the editing window; do not use native func EF! (Native
func EF doesn't restore the cursor position correctly when you leave
the editing window.) To edit a foonote, put the cursor on the
footnote number, then issue EF. Or, if you use a key to go
into footnotes, substitute JM(,2,.,e,f,) for EF in the KBD file
assignment. To close the footnote window, issue EF to
retain your changes, or hit EScape to discard changes.

Let me know, please, whether this works.
