When executing "fp" in an empty directory, an fp.ini file is generated with AutoSaveFlags set to a value of 6.
Is there a way to arrange for the default value to be 7, without recompiling the text IDE?
Otherwise, I need to go into the IDE Options, Environment, Preferences menus and manually set AutoSaveEditorFiles each time I initially use fp in a new directory. The setting is necessary so that the source file is saved during CTRL-F9. Without the setting, CTRL-F9 only seems to check for changes for the first change, unless I manually save the source with F2 first.

Your message sounds to me as if the real problem
was the change detection not working properly
rather than anything else, so I'd suggest to file
a bug report for that instead of asking for a
changed default for automatic saving...
Furthermore, I believe that having fp.ini
specifying your preferred behaviour stored in
~/.fp should solve the problem with default
values.
