That's some nasty reading!  So, some folks want to be just like MS
when they grow up (perhaps down).  Others apparently can't find
"Save As" when they just changed settings and not text.  You have
more patients then me - I quit reading.  If it wasn't suggested, how
about another flag?  There is (was?) one for printing triggering the
Save icon.  How about settings triggering the Save icon?  Down side
is the more flags, the messier it gets.  I suspect the 3.1 goal is out
there a bit.  I will brace for another round of complaints.

Thanks again
