Hopefully the following interface additions will help users avoid, and/or
better recover from, mistakes.

1. onUnload handler for unsaved changes to notes (works every time a new
page is loaded in the place of the current editor and when Netscape is
exited, but not when Netscape crashes).

2. Revert button: allows the user to abandon changes (confirmed, of course).

These two additions will retroactively install themsleves on pages that
are actually being used for notetaking (i.e., without any work on Paul's
part). BUT we should incorporate them into the generative scripts, and
actively install them for every editor ourselves. (Paul, do you need help
with this? I might be able to lend a hand here and there.)

look at:

USERNAME diggs PASSWORD diggs

or try it on your own pages by hitting the Save Notes button.

Tell me what you think...
