I don't know if it's a bug in POVWIN, but it's not RTFM either. Somehow doing a
'Save As' under Win98 causes POVWIN to lose focus (perhaps only for a very short
time), and this triggers the automatic saving of the file as documented in the
section on Auto-Reload.

I'll have to see if I can work out why it's losing focus.
