Hm. Plot thickens more.I can't make it happen no matter how many keys I
press. You're on Windows, right? I tried Control, but that didn't do it,
so I tried Command (the Mac equivalent) and that didn't do it either. So
I tried Cmd-<lotsa different alpha keys> and still nothing.
I know I've seen the "save" dialog when I shouldn't have, but there
doesn't seem to be a reproducible recipe so far. Whatever it is, it
doesn't appear to travel with the stack. Must be an IDE state thing.
This is using your sample stack, but I am being scrupulous about not
reading the scripts. ;)
