I must have been dreaming - I can't reproduce this.  Bart, you are still
quite sane.

So $keepsave does what I want eh?  Damn.  This has happened to me too
many times!  Rtfm is on everybodys mind (mine too) yet a small voice
in my head demands to say something in my defence:  can anybody think
of a way to organize the Mush docs so that related features/variables/
commands are somehow tied together?  I'm tired of wasting peoples time!
