I'm glad you asked, because I should have added that. I have it turn itself
off whenever Xy is the active Window. Here's the relevant portion of the
script:

SetTimer, WatchActiveWindow, 100 ; timing

WatchActiveWindow:
  If WinActive("XyWrite")
    Suspend On
  else if not GlobalSuspension
    Suspend Off
Return

Pause:: ; Set Pause button to toggle a suspension globally, not just in XyWrite
  Suspend Toggle
  GlobalSuspension:=not GlobalSuspension ; toggle the flag, too
Return
I actually use a longish disjunction in the IfWinActive line, to cover
NotaBene and cmd.exe, but I omit that here for reading ease.
