> all you have to do, to save what you've been typing?!

Hi J, yes ~ but only if you're in a Windows program like a word processor, I think. So to make it more explicit, I would:
1. Open a new window of Word
2. Save it immediately with a temp filename like AWAD
3. Type my post
4. Hit Control/S whenever I felt like building a new saved version
5. Hit Control/A to select all the text when done editing
6. Hit Control/C to copy that highlighted selection
7. Hit Alt/Tab to return to the message board diealot box and place the cursor in the text entry field
8. Hit Control/V to paste the text in to the box

Viola. It sounds more trouble than it is when you routinely use the key strokes.


edit: uh, well these work across the whole M$ suite AFAIK, not just the word processors.
