Is this in the view where you set the banks, or in the view where you 
edit the memory itself?  Got a screenshot?  I never use the commercial 
stuff.  Doesn't run on my platform :)

Hmm, well, I could make the per-memory bank selection a different and 
more-active widget and let you set it there too, I suppose.

Yeah, well, I think I'd like to go with this change initially and remove 
the bank column in memory edit view.  Then once we get all the internal 
stuff worked out to make it behave properly, I can see about adding the 
bank column back into the memory editor and make it do the right thing.
