I use virtual PC on my Powerbook pismo (g3 400Mhz) machine. I had
tried Radnor, a previous version I think, and while it worked for
Xy4, the performance was slightly worse than VPC, which I already had.


You may want to also check out iEmulator (http://www.iemulator.com/).

That is interesting. I have no problem using any of these keys under
VPC. Everything works fine.


Good luck on using Xy on the Mac!
