Sorry, but I can't reproduce this problem - I don't know why.  We
used SDI at EJ4F (yes SDI CAN be used for multi-op) and it didn't
crash or lock-up at any time.

If anyone can reliably make SDI freeze, please let me have a copy
of your .ALL fie and the EXACT key sequence that does the trick!

It should be possible - I'll check it out.  If so, I'd have to do
it after every change that would affect sdconfig.txt.  In the
meantime, there are two options that will work. They are
1. leave the program after updating any of the keyer memories
2. edit sdconfig.txt directly  (this is safe - SD will ignore any
parameters it doesn't recognise).
