Re: Post-loading bug (fixed?)

[Mel Seder <melseder yahoo com>]

I'm new at "lists" so if I am not using them the right
way please flame me :-)

I'm starting to use gnumeric (version .67) more and
more often.  Last time I had any use for a spreadsheet
was 10 years ago. I am told to set an environment
variable called "GNUMERIC_ENABLE_XL_OVERWRITE".  The
error message did not say how to set it or what to set
it to.  Can someone please point me in the right
direction or instruct me how to be able to re-write a
sheet after making a change.
