[CM] format error when reading SPEAR files

[Denis Fitzpatrick]

It's my bad, I think.

I did the following: made a new grace window (apple-N)
Saved it as test1.sal
copied the following line into that window after copying from the web site:
define variable log-frames = import-spear-frames("log-drum.txt")
  then executed and got the error "format-error"
But, after closing that file , then reopening and executing, it worked 
fine.
So saving a new file as a sal file didn't put grace into sal mode for 
that window, as I assumed.
Grace 3.5.1 OS X 10.6.2
