Thanks, Carl. With use of the mouse wheel method, I was also sometimes getting a "ghost" border afterimage that would not go away after dismissing vDosPlus & Xy (can't recall now whether that was with Xy-3 or Xy-4 -- I don't think it was with both), and it required a Restart of Windows to get rid of that artifact.
I'll have to see if the SETCFG method is a lasting or a temporary change.
By trial and error I've found that one can have coexisting vDos installs for Xy-3 and Xy-4, so I don't need to inquire about that. (The second install, which was to a different partition, still hijacked the desktop icon for the first. But I got around that.)
If folks care to post their preferred color assignments for these, I'm game to try some out. I know this has been done before on the list, but probably not previously for use *under vDos*, where a number of things seem to display differently. For example, I have not been able to actually see any formatting deltas -- as such. They are coming out like highlighted cursor-position squares.

The easiest way to change window size on the fly is Winkey+F11
(smaller) or Winkey+F12 (bigger). Note that this only works if
vDos(Plus) is already displayed in a window; if it's full-screen, first
press Alt+Enter to toggle to windowed view.
Alternatively, from the DOS command line you can do
SETCFG WINDOW=n
where n is between 5 and 100. With Xy4 + U2, you can do
SETCFG WINDOW=n
without leaving XyWrite.
