Re: and another option

[Jon P xywrite4@xxxxxxxx]

That's almost exactly how DOSBox looks on the Android (it names the internal memory of the tablets as the C: drive). So I suspect XY would work just fine on there.

Carl, isn't CLIP.EXE a DOS program? I could conceivably run it in DOSBox. There are also clipboard
apps for Android like Clipper. So from one approach or another, it may not be the impossible dream.
Further experimentation is required. 

I realize I was a bit telegraphic on Carl's previous query. With DOSBox so far, the CTRL= table in
the .kbd file seems to be ignored. There is a CTRL key on the Android keyboards, but it doesn't get
through to XY4. Still, I'd think that unless you have way too many macros you could remap whatever
your CTRL keys did to ALT or SHIFT+ALT or other possibilities. XPL still rules.

even if you don't want to go to the trouble of putting Linux on it, how
far wrong can you go for $250?

MS must be a tad concerned about these: have you seen that dismissive anti-Chromebook commercial
featuring the guys from "Pawn Stars" ?
