Oh yes, which is why I just save from the !Boot Configure menu, so it is
saved inside that copy of !Boot, which as I mentioned before I label
appropriately (e.g. "Pre-518").
I have also spent many happy minutes re-entering configure commands in
the way you kindly reminded us when that has been necessary: when that
could happen, yes I do indeed spool the entire existing configs to a
file, though I can never recall the modern way so tend to do:
*spool filename
*status
*spool
...just as I started doing all those years ago (1987!) when I got my
first Archimedes. Wow, almost a quarter of a century ago!
