Tame Pre9 solves my problems

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Okay, I don't think this is premature elation, this time.
Tame 5.1 version Pre9 is advanced enough not to crash NTVDM (despite a dual
core processor) and is modifiable for use with my idiosyncratic
cursor-control keys. I use ctrl-t for cursor up, ctrl-v for down, ctrl-j
for left and ctrl-; for right, ctrl-g for line end and ctrl-h for line
begin. That set of assignments is, in effect, my version of the "Wordstar
diamond," and it works wonderfully for touch typing, if you have also
changed your Registry so that Ctrl is on the left of the "A" key (instead
of CapsLock). Turns out that Xy handles some of these keys (notably
ctrl-semicolon) differently from others. So if anyone is interested, the
modification to Pre9 to get this to work is the following, for ...\My
Documents\Tame 5.1\XyWrite.app.tam

/KeyGroupDef GroupName = Custom3 IncludeChar='^J', '^T', '^V', '^G', '^H'
Channel=WinMessage RepeatRate=-1
;; Does not produce a BIOS scan code for DOS
IncludeScan=#27 ;** ';' key with ctl or alt
There is, as of today, a 6.0 rc4 up at www.tamedos.com, but that still
doesn't work after shelling to DOS and returning, on my system.

Happy New Year to all XyWriters.
