Cobol Editor
------------
1) add one line like DISPLAY "one of the pgm's fields".
2) Highlight a paragraph name right click -> refactor -> Rename
and rename.
3) close without saving -> the editor will ask you wether you want to
save or not
4) do not save, then reopen the pgm
None of the changes have been saved

Redo 1) 2) 3), then save, then reopen.
both changes have been saved

LPEX
----
Do 1) 2) 3); The program will close without asking: do you want to save?
because Save has been already done.
.
Customer would like LPEX to work like Cobol Editor.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us; However, we have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because this is a limitation in the LPEX editor framework and an example reason as to why we created the COBOL editor.
    Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
