This has only happened to me 4 or 5 times and the sequence usually looks like this:

It's late at night
I have a workspace with large variables to save
A process is running
I want to clear that process off as soon as possible because it is using so much memory.

So I type save, and then exit on the command line. (Stupid- but remember it's late at night and I want to get out of the office)

Then the process I'm running dies (inevitably this is a new error)
And "save and exit" are run
Leaving me with the variables that exist within the function
Not the ones I wanted.

If this (or something similar) has never happened to you in some part of your life- congratulations.

For the rest of us, an interactive save function would be nice. Perhaps this could be implemented with a system variable that we can set from out startup scripts.
