Aha, so you've confirmed the name clash. Don't know what HTML.PM
is, and can't seem to find it with XySearch; obviously it's a
routine of Robert's that made its way into your DLG file. Maybe he
planted it there while you weren't looking. Whatever it is, clearly
you're not making use of it. You need to create HTML.REG!

Here's what to do: Copy the Ersatz Autosave frame back into XY4.DLG.
Rename it; change {{5$A}} to another $x framename, e.g., {{5$B}}.
Issue LOADHELP to reLOAD DLG. Change your Ersatz key
assignment to $B (or whatever your new framename is). STore and
reLOAD your KBD file. You should be good to go.

No, it was the name clash (two DLG frames named $A). Change one of
the duplicate framenames and your problem should go away.

No, I haven't. What makes you think the culprit is AOT? Does the
instability cease if you set AOT to 0,0?

It could be. Could be OOM (Out Of Memory). When you command
VA/NV $M+6, what value is reported? Upwards of 10? Upwards of 15?
That would be one indicator of impending (d)OOM. Does the
instability start when you edit that document? How big is the file?
Do you have other files open when you're editing it?
