I found a weird problem yesterday that I hadn't found before.  I made
an error when entering comment into my program, like this:

/* begin program description /*

Well, the last comment identifier should be */ as we all know.  But
when I did it the /* way and hit enter to get to a newline RHIDE
exited without saving my program.  Weird.  Any ideas?  I have made
this mistake before and I haven't gotten these results.

The only thing remotely different about last night's computing
environment and all others is that I had run Norton DOS previously,
but rebooted the system.

Well, onward and upward.  I'll try to see if it does the same thing
tonight.
