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?
