Just getting LDGLite to react to changes to the file it is showing would be a good start. <careful testing while looking at the LDGLite log> Uhmmm... It seems that it is my habit of having a "FILE" meta-command at the start of all of my files that causes problems for the polling feature in LDGLite.

And Ctrl-X closes an XModem connection, so this poor guy who started using Unix more than ten years ago over and XModem connection had to use something else than Emacs for editing files. And now `vi` is one of my acknowledged bad habits. I seriously try to improve, but it is hard.
