Save question

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Chipp, (sorry about the name. I said I'm having vision problems, smile)

Thanks, I was beginning to come to the same conclusion; which seems  
to indicate that in order for any application to be able to Save  
anything, it must create documents apart from itself that are then  
used to load up when needed. This is going to require a change in  
strategy on my part or the used of stacks with the stackrunner in  
lieu of stand alones, which is not as pretty but acceptable I suppose.

Would have gotten back sooner on this but turned in early last night  
and got a late start today.
