- Like the black holes in the MEMO editor... you have to be very watchful
- of if you save a file with them holes, you have a missing character in
- some word.

- Wish they also had repeating TODO and APPTs where you actually specified
- a repeat interval. I have several repeats that are very periodic but
- are not exactly monthly nor weekly.
-
- And the alarm should work while in DOS too. (I have an ALARM-BUDDY
- that does that for me., but it would be neater if it was fixed.)
-
- Wish they had a ramdisk that did not need a reboot on a size adjust.
- (It is possible.) And better if it was self adjusting, giving up all
- free space to mallocs and grabbing space from higher end of the malloc
- chain when needed to save (fragmentation permitting.)
