Thanks Charles.  I agree with everything you've said.  How did I ever forget
to mention Windoze in the list of reliability factors?  That would have been
at the top! (or bottom, however the order you choose to rank it.)  And
you're right, Ctrl-S is very much a natural thing to me in Windows apps!

If I had a PC at home that could run WDSCi, I'd probably make that jump a
lot sooner.  Maybe I can convince the boss to let me use one of the laptops
that float around here once in awhile.
