	I was working on an existing file in ez.
	Using the "Title" menu card, I highlit each of the 20 topics
on the 3-page file with "Chapter" heading.
	I then went into the "Table of Contents" window and enumerated the
contents.
	Then back to the text for a bit of editing, then, prior to printing,
an attrempt to save the file resulted in the message (approximately):
	"Unable to save: read-only file"
What?  My hours of work down the tubes?  But wait a minute: I was
able to edit the file before and after getting this message.  I thus
knew something was up.
	I went to the "File" page, selected "save as", and wrote
the path and name of the file just as it had been before the work:
The file was accepted and saved as I requested.
