Does this mean I can't save the program until I've finished typing
it in? I don't generally like leaving unsaved changes in an editor
more than a couple of minutes. And I may not want to finish up the
statement I'm in the middle of typing in when the phone is ringing
or when my boss is calling me into a meeting. That goes triple
when the UPS starts beeping and I know I don't have much time left
until the computer loses power.
