Re: VirtualBox update



No, I don't think that was it.  Maybe something that Kari had pointed out . . . ?

The only issue I have with VBox -- and it's small potatoes -- is that 
while Alt-Enter switches XyWrite INTO VBox's virtual full-screen 
display, hitting Alt-Enter again doesn't toggle BACK to windowed view; 
it causes XyWrite to freeze. I've devised a simple XPL workaround -- a 
routine that calls U2's SAVESESS to save the state of my full-screen 
XyWrite session, QUITs, then restarts XyWrite in windowed mode and 
restores my editing session. It works, but I miss the simplicity of 
the Alt-Enter toggle.
