-
- Actually, Robert, I DO hit "m" when prompted about the permanence of the
- settings. Upon calling the NBCUSTOM.SET file, I find that several
- new lines have been added at the end, reflecting, perhaps, the changes
- that I have wanted to make. Still, when loading NB4 the next time
- the settings are not recognized.
-
- Because I had NB, Orbis, and Ibid Plus, I received the upgrade very
- late, sometime in late September. I think, therefore, that I must
- have a rather debugged (ha!) version of NB4.
-
- Any further ideas?
-
- Thanks.
