It saves on mine, in Strawberry. Which version of SoaS are you using?

It appears from your blog that you use the hover technique to get at
menus, rather than right-clicking. Were you aware that you can get the
menu without having to wait? I am documenting such things at

Measure is my favorite, starting with acoustics. But you can hook up
any instrument that puts out an electrical signal in the 0-1V range. I
have written up and extended Alan Kay's lessons on Galilean gravity.
