Hopefully I can answer your questions :-
1) The unknown_event handlers used by xferesend (saveas does very little and
calls xfersend) maybe be left hanging around if the save has failed. Hence,
you should construct your code as follows :-
saveas(0xFFF,"TextFile",1024,save_proc,ram_proc,print_proc,handle);
xfersend_clearunknowns();
It maybe wise to always call clearunknowns as I beleive it won't give you
any problems even is xfersend has stopped claiming.
2) You should call wimpt_checkmode() when you initialise and when you
receive a mode change event.
