Download and unzip http://holmgren.home.acedsl.com/kbd-pm.zip.
This archive contains two files, KBD-PM.TXT and XY-KBD.TXT. In
KBD-PM.TXT, SEarch for "Extra start command"; read that section of
the text. In XY-KBD.TXT, SEarch for "SAve routine" and read on for a
tip on how to avoid having a PRompt extinguished by the terminating
func NO in a SUbroutine.

No. It was cured starting with Signature|Xy4.

Send them to Robert and me; we'd be pleased to have a look; we
archive materials of general interest at our XyWWWeb site
(users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/). Your material might also find a home at
www.xywrite.com, maintained by Brian Henderson.
