Hi,
Good points. I'd like to slightly differ on that though: Most of this comes
from how these files are structured. The conversion process from non-KeyWord
type to KeySoft type not only translates from one grade to another, but also
adds special markers and other useful data to the file. As for Zach's post,
as Alex said, pressing ENTER would actually skip "review options" prompt
altogether until you open the file again.
As for losing data, there is a story behind it (somewhat of a non-trivial
one): When you work with open files, you are working with another copy of
the file in question. The original copy is still located on a storage device
and the "active" copy is stored on physical memory. This may sound odd, but
it makes sense, since computers need to load the file to RAM before opening
it. As a consequence, when you quit a document, the resulting changes will
not be saved, since the storage device version of the file would not have
been modified. The only time the storage device version would be modified is
when you actually save the file (either via "save" command or exiting the
program).
I'll rrite a detailed explanation on the next post. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joseph

I agree with Zachary Dreicer.  The user is constantly forced to 
answer a prompt that is not wanted 95% of the time.  And if you 
one time accidentally exit without answering, you lose your newly 
edited data altogether, not good.

documents.
