Re: netbooks, keyboards, old-fashioned Xy4 DOS

[David Rosenthal davidrosenthal@xxxxxxxx]

Two things perhaps worth mentioning:

One can put far more autoexpansions into an autohotkey file than can fit in the XyW III+
Auto-Replace spl file, which is somewhat limited in size.

Second: One can have different autohotkey files and have them be automatically active--in the way
Harry indicated in a previous post--only in windows of one's choice. So one could, e.g., have just
autoexpansions in an autohotkey file dedicated to XyW.
