I've left in the quoting so that there can be no further misunderstandings
re USR's requirement of saving the baud rate to NVRAM, BTW. 

As it happens, I can sort-of see his point, but this relates more to USR's
apparent failure to adequately document the necessity of using &W under
the aforementioned circumstances.  All they say is that it must be done, no
reason given (or none that I can find, at least).

Agreed.  :)
