I assume you know to delete all pages from the TSTATION.INI file when
you have a page which will not load because of an error, and you
have TS set to automatically load the last open pages. (Omega's
Catch-22 - the page crashes TS before you can reset the auto-load,
so you always load the page that crashes TS.)
I would,once I got the thing open again, and with the usable time scale,
copy the page to another page, named -2 or -B or something. Then when
the #1 page is unusable load #2 instead, and copy it onto #1.
Workarounds are half the fun of Omega products :-(
