373 subscreen A/B item problems

you never continue with the sword on A, and it always defaults back to the
first item in your Selectable items.

example,
I have the A/B selectable item box checked, the sword I use on A, and the other items on B, when you save and quit the sword isn't selected you always
have to reselect it. and it goes for anything you had selected with A.

yes it kind of does, not everyone will want the sword like that and besides,
is that really a way to look at this? it does affect items so yes it does matter.

Well, my reasoning is that by simply arranging items in the subscreen so that the two most important items (usually sword and one other) will be the default item selection, this problem is averted.

And, furthermore, I assert that re-selecting two items after re-loading a file is, in my opinion, hardly an irritation justifying some save file format alterations. But then, my intimation with the save file code is sufficiently limited as to render this argument quite possibly moot.

then explain to me why it used to work perfectly, minus the fact that you could
sometimes do what Hot Water said. but still it did work.

Neither the current A nor B weapon are saved.
I'll look into adding this information to the save file; old save files will become invalid.
