Thats the point, we shouldn't have to futz around all day - they should
persist untill _I_ change them. This is the very reason I quit using EMC a
year and a half ago. It was just too maddining everytime the offsets went
away you have to take the tool out and get out the test indicators etc
again. It made me want to throw the computer over the hill...

I wish I had the programming ability to fix it but I don't. Jon, if you fix
it would you please share the fix. I've been kinda waiting for the
developers to come to their senses on this - I would use EMC if this were
fixed. It is a pretty cool program, especially with a touchscreen and Ray's
GUI...
