Sorry, but I don't see how using non-standard dialogs with a brain-damaged
caps-only font saves screen space during flight.  The defect referred to
in the original posting was that "saving" a flight situation didn't save
it in a file (i.e., it wasn't permanently "saved").  That has nothing to
do with saving screen space.

True, the dwarf menu bar and non-standard windows save space, but why
are the menus themselves in that same illegible font?  Why are files saved
with names like "F7"?  Where's the standard file dialog?
