I posted this query last week but had no reply, so here it is again:


The Orbis manual says on p 95 that I can edit textbase file masks, but
when I try to do so - Update in the main Orbis menu; Edit in the Orbis
Index Menu; change filespec/s in the File Mask Menu; then F10 to execute -
my changes don't get saved. If I call up the File Mask Menu again, the old
filespecs are there. I've been dodging the issue by editing the .MSK files
directly, but I'm curious. Is this a known problem with Orbis?

Best wishes

Mary
