    I have the problem with the read only examples provided.
    I save the project with a new name before I run it.
           for Example  I save the "Timer" example program  with a new name
              "Timer-my"
    I close gambas3.1.1
    I reopen gambas 3.1.1  
              
    Now the "Timer-my" program works.
    I do not get the error message that the program is already opened
    I do not get the "...has returned the value 1"

   Gambas is great!
