Re: A Simple XyWrite Command

["Martin J. Osborne" osborne@xxxxxxxx]

The 4.0 manual says: define the block, press Alt + to sum, then move the
cursor to where you want the answer and press Alt =. I don't know if
that works in 3.57, but I'm guessing that it does. If you're not using
the default keyboard, the function call to sum is SM and the one to
display the total is DT.
