The editor which is run by default from the Workframe/2 environment when
editing source files has developed a strange problem.  It saves the file every
time a key is pressed!  On the first keystroke, it pops up a window telling me
I don't need to save because nothing has changed.  On the second keystroke
it pops up a window telling me the file doesn't have an file type attribute
and forces me to select one.  Then, as I type the disk chatters away every
time I press a key.  Makes things really slugish, and it can't be good for
the disk.  Has anyone seen this symptom before?  Is there a way to fix it?
