Two Very Minor IDE Improvement Requests

Hi,
I am using SX-Key v3.2.3 with SX/B version 1.51.03. When I try to use the SX/B LOAD command with a file that the compiler can not find I receive only an “Unable to read source file” error from SX/B. It does not indicate what file could not be found (I tend to load many, one for every subroutine) or even what line generated the error. More information would be helpful. If this is not too difficult to provide I would like to request it for the next version. Thank you.
Also, when I open an existing file and make changes to it, then save it, then later use CTRL-Z one or more times to undue those changes… at some point (maybe when the file is nearly back to its original state as opened) the editor does not re-enable the floppy disk “Save” icon. The normal File | Save menu structure does work, however. So I just use that.
I am not trying to criticize the software, which I use quite a lot and am grateful to have. I just wanted to take a moment to share two areas (albeit very minor ones) where I think the software could be improved slightly.
I hope I have not offended anyone.

I will change the "Unable to read source file" to give more information.
Absolutely no offence taken.

Thanks.

When I program on my laptop using the built in mouse, it would be more convinent to have the vertical scroll bar on the left side of the editor, in between the editor and the file manager. Instead of the standard far right side of the text editor. I think it may help reduce time, by keeping the code and controls close together.
Hope this is helpful
