Somehow Yamaha expected that this expander would be used by experienced owner’s of DX7 II D, but still it’s different. Even detailed MIDI implementation was missing in the manual, I remember my reverse engineering of Sysex control (successful, how I could after many years when finally I have found a printed copy in Yamaha Europe HQ during one of my visits there). And DX7 II D manual was also not too informative, so later they published all those Supplemental booklets.

Thanks, Bruce.
Yes, that works for me too - now I know what to do. I've been over and over that part of the manual, and it just doesn't explain how to save it, as far as I can see. I've lost every attempt at editing, before knowing to do that. It had taken on a bit of an unexploded bomb feeling.
I did find a bit about restoring the edit buffer, from the utility menu, but it didn't explain what would happen if I did - I fully expected to find myself back in the edit mode, still without any way to save it. I didn't want to try doing that, because I'd left it in edit mode, rather than lose another attempt at altering a patch.
Now I've got a TX802 in front of me, the manual seems lightweight and woefully inadequate. I've read manuals for other Yamaha FM synths I own, and never had that feeling before.
