Many times I've clicked the button when I haven't made any changes. I hope everyone keeps in mind this is not an unusual occurence with an alpha version, and not only with fldigi. I worked with an alpha for a list member about a year ago. It wasn't too bad as it is a rather no-frills app. However, I "volunteered" to alpha test a couple of other apps, different story all together. Just remember to keep your data backed up, or start a new alpha fldigi with the --config-dir switch to a non-critical directory. Ed W3NR
