When the boolean switch Autosave is disabled (by setting it to
NoAutosave), a file will not be saved when exiting the editor.

As documented on Page 61 of the "Microsoft Editor User's Guide," when
the Autosave switch is turned on, the current file is saved when the
user switches away from it. When Autosave is off (NoAutosave), the
file must be explicitly saved when desired; this can be done by
entering Arg Arg Setfile (ALT+A ALT+A F2 in the default keyboard
setup).
