- Greetings:
- J-P Takala sent me a short xpl string that he says solves the problem I had

- This does not work on my 4.0. What happens is that when the string saves
- the file, it closes the input window and leaves the cursor outside the note.
-
- The following string that I worked out works better for me, but it still
- does not do the job I want because although it works the first time it is
- invoked, if I continue to work in the window and then try to save when the
- annoying beep begins, then the window closes and I am left outside it, as
- with J-P's string. Here's my program:
-
- <<SX01,<<CP>>>>OV efBC saXC XL OV efBC JMP <<PV01>>XC
-
- I really don't understand why the thing behaves differently the second
- time. And I'm puzzled, too, by why J-P's program doesn't work for me.
-
- I am pursuing this issue partly because it annoys me and partly because I
- know at least one former NB user who switched to a competitor partly because
- this particular annoyance was the straw that . . . .
