Does anyone know the current situation on the disappearing scribbles problem?

I am a lecturer and my University has provided me with a M92 so that I can research the potential of using it as an assessment / marking tool, with a view to publishing my findings on it's suitability for this next year. In order to persuade the world of academia that this is a viable tool I need to persuade them that it can serve a similar function as a piece of paper, for non-technically minded academics, so a working scribble function is essential to this. Being able to merge the scribbles, and export the merged document plus scribbles back to a PC is also essential. And, being able to rename the document on the M92 without loosing the scribbles is important, which I gather you can only do if the the scribbles are merged. If you change the name without saving them they seem to disappear.

The problem I am having is that sometimes, when I merge my marking scribbles, the scribbles on the first page don't get saved in the new merged document (they still appear on the original file, but this isn't a merged file). If I change the name of the merged document, go back in and re-write the first page of scribbles, and merge again, this usually does the trick and they merge okay. But this is going to be too much of a faff for me to be able to recommend the M92 to the world of academia. This is happening in about 1 in 4 documents.

I have read through the above posts, and I apologise that I am probably going over old territory here, but most of the posts above went over my head somewhat. As this thread is getting on for a year old now I was hoping that the problem might have been fixed and that there might be something I can download that fixes it?

I'm afraid I haven't even worked out how to update yet as the instruction manual is gloriously vague.

Any information on this would be very gratefully received.
