Further experimentation: if I disable "Use RAM disc or Memphis ..." I 
can edit once more, so it is the scrap or Memphis directory that's 
being complained about, it seems. Now, what can I do about this, I 
wonder?

I tried creating a sprite called ExMsg to put in RAM or Memphis, but 
I've never understood how to create a sprite, and in any case that 
would presumably be only a temporary cure.
