Jim, what would you think of a manually-invoked "save without exiting"
action in the SELECT menu as well as a nice keybinding for SAVE.  The
thought of automatically-saved cutlists worries me (as just hitting Z in
the editor would all of a sudden make a real cutlist and a user
accidentally cutting out all but some tiny portion of the show would
have to become familiar with mythcommflag --clearcutlist and/or we'd
need to have a "Clear Cutlist" action in the Watch Recordings menu or ...).

I /very/ much like the idea of "save without exiting"--it's just the
"automatically" part that worries me.

Thanks,
Mike
