Windows tweakage for Xy

	I'd add a few notes to Jeff's post (see below). These may be
specific to Win95:

	Also make sure that on the properties|programs tab that you check
the box "Close on Exit." I'd also make sure in this tab that the window for
Xy runs maximized (see below).

	Users can decide for themselves here what the trade-offs are: If you
right click above the boxes, windows gives you a brief description of what
the key combos give you in the "checked" state. I find it useful personally
to keep alt-space, alt-tab, alt-esc and alt-enter checked. That way I can
switch rapidly out of XyWrite if I need to (even with Xy running in full
screen mode--my default)n, or toggle Xy from full screen to window mode.
Leaving them checked does not seem to have any adverse effect on Xy. (I use
Xy 3.55 running on Win95.)

	Agreed!
