Check:
-----
MSVBVM60.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (file dated 2/23/04)
*One* copy of XYWWWEB.REG on the machine (check every drive:
 "DIR d:\XYWWWEB.REG /S /P" )
*One* line only with an "EXE_or_VBS=" spec in REG
Set "EXE_or_VBS=E" (then *SAve* REG!)
CLIP.EXE in the *same dir* as Editor
CLIP.TXT, if exists, has no ATTRIButes (Hidden, Read-Only, etc.)
 (command "ATTRIB CLIP.TXT" in DOS)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and Editor's dir are both in the PATH

If all that checks out OK, then:

Manual Debug of CLIP (stop at any point, and report, if error!):
------ -----
1. DeFine and Clip some text from XyWrite
2. Open separate DOS window in Editor's dir
3. At DOS prompt, command "TYPE CLIP.TXT" to see if it contains your clipping
4. At DOS prompt, command "CLIP.EXE"
5. At DOS prompt, hit Alt-spacebar-E-P to see if CLIP.EXE
  successfully copied the text in CLIP.TXT to the system Clipboard
 (it should be pasted to the DOS prompt)
6. At DOS prompt, command "DEL CLIP.TXT"
7. At DOS prompt, command "CLIP.EXE"
8. At DOS prompt, command "TYPE CLIP.TXT" to see if CLIP.EXE pasted your
clipping
9. Return to XyWrite and Paste some text into Xywrite
