Also I have a MRC 1833 Sound Decoder that I was trying to create a Decoder definition file. I am?using JEdit. I used a MRC 1927 File to begin with as it had most of the cv's that I needed. It will let me make changes to the file but will not let me save it.
Not sure to understand exactly what you have done. You should: make a copy of the MRC 1827 xml file in a directory outside the JMRI directory, rename the file name using 1833 instead of 1827, then edit and make your changes. Then in JMRI in the 'Debug' menu, choose 'Import Decoder File' and follow instructions; then again from the 'Debug' menu choose 'Recreate Decoder Index' (this may be redundant with the previous but just to be sure).
This will copy your file in your JMRI personal directory and is will stay there even if you install new versions of JMRI.
When you have finished, it would be good to send us your file so that we can add it to JMRI for good. Also I'll be interested to get a copy of the documentation (scanned) as it is not available on MRC site for this decoder. Thus, if you cannot create the decoder, I could do it for you.
PS: I guess that you restarted from MRC 1827 (not 1927 that do not seem to exist).
