The hang ups and such are basically the WPS running out of memory.  I am
continually amazed at how many long time are either unaware that the WPS
does not clean up after itself very well or that know it and choose to
ignore it.  It's not as if any of this has changed in the last 12 years or
so.

You are thinking of xfix and it is not based on Henk's code.

xfix is fine for what it does which is a subset of what checkini and
cleanini do.

Your phrasing of the question was not sufficient direct for my simple mind
to understand.  You don't have to hit the enter key.  Just Y is sufficient
as is a mouse click.  This should have been somewhat obvious from the
screen messages that resulted when you pressed Y.
