Re: ersatz autosave...?

["M.W. Poirier" poirmw@xxxxxxxx]

 Carl:

 Your modification works. The only thing that I notice is that
 when the save takes place in a footnote, the screen flickers
 (maybe "refreshes itself" would be a better way of describing
 what happens) for a second or so. This does not happen when in
 the body of a text. I don't know if autosv can be brought to
 function exactly as in the text, maybe not..., but if it could
 it would be nice.

 As for using the JM(,2,.,e,f,) command, ...yes, I've been using
 it for some time. You may remember that I "complained" that my
 cursor was jumping all about when I existed a footnote, often
 to the point of moving to a footnote five or six footnotes away
 from where I was working, and you, at the time, suggested a remedy.
 Well, I've been relying on the remedy ever since. It is the same
 remedy that you suggest below. I've place it on the Ctrl-z key,
 which I believe you may have suggested.

 Again, many thanks for the corrective below, and if the "refreshing"
 of the screen problem in the footnote cannot be overcome, that's ok.

 M.
