My original enquiry on this thread was for OP for Windows but it seems to
have been hi-jacked by the 'Acornistas'.
I tried Dave Symes' one line macro {save_incremented()} - a button duly
appeard in my toolbar but clicking on it produces the error message "unknown
identifier save_incremented at line 1 in macro'.
Is this macro only for RiscOS - if so, does anyone have something that would
be suitable for the Windows version?
