But that's the whole problem here. Yes, you can save a document in
progress with S-cord, but it is of no help if the BN freezes and you are
forced to do a reset. If that happens, anything saved with the S-cord
is not truly saved and you lose it. If the BN is frozen, you can't exit
before doing the reset. So, really, it's kind up a hope and pray but
not really kind of save. If you want it saved so that it's there if the
unit does freeze, you'd better be exiting the appplication with E-cord
every ten minutes or so.

You don't have to exit the document to do a save. No!
I use the control S at least 6 times per session and often times I
don't exit a document which is my jourmal. Yes, I have had times when
things have been lost but no you don't have to exit a document to save
it.
Just be careful and exit the document if you have to do resets or do
the control S hit enter then a y and it is saved.

Did anyone ever answer this question?
I am a writer and while I don't mind doing a control-s I do mind
having
to exit the document in order to do a save.

Subject: [Braillenote] saving files in progress
I'm wondering why, technically, this might have happened. I was
creating a lengthy document in KeyWord, and pressing space-S
periodically to save my work as I went. However, at one
point my mPower
locked up and I had to press the reset button. Then to my horror, I
discovered that my saves using space with S hadn't saved my
file, and it
resumed at the last point where I had used space with E to exit the
KeyWord application.
So, my question is what is the point of saving with space-S if it
doesn't really save the work in case of a lock up or other disaster?
Now I'm exiting the KeyWord as the means of saving my work. I don't
like losing two hours of productivity.
Thoughts or insights on this?
