        Hi David ...
        ===
                To clarify :  When you are in edit mode and you
                perform an action then move off that record, that record
                is _automatically_ saved.  In the case of a delete, the
                fact that the record disappears and you naturally move
                to a new record is indicative of the save.
                If you change a record then move to a new record, there
                is no special save function you need to activate.  It's
                too late!  
                If you change a record and have *not* moved off the record,
                you may get your old values back by hitting  * Origin: Star Of Life BBS (1:3805/4)
