Alex, Your theory has been proven. Technically, RAM stands for Random-Access Memory. Anything that is "temporary" will reside in this memory. This type of memory is writable, as opposed ot ROM, which stands for Read-Only Memory. RAM can be edited, but ROM can't. After the user saves the data, the actual content is moved to the locaiton where the file actually resides (in BN's case, the file resides on Flash Disk. After the user has saved the data, the data is moved to Flash Disk.). If you use KeyWord and check the RAM value in the Support Information Mode as I've described 3 or 4 months earlier, the RAM value will go up while you are editing the document. This practice is same across all computers (in case of computers, Flash Disk is substituted by hard disk). I hope this information may help you. P.S. If you want more information, send email to the list or write to me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a theory, though: The changes the user makes are saved in RAM. When the file is saved, the BN must take the changes and put them into ROM. The message one gets when, I suppose, this process fails includes either the word "reading" or "writing", making me suspect that the transfer of the changes is what causes the problem.
