Thanks. I know how to make shortcuts; the misunderstanding was that I took
your saying "go to My Computer, right click on the editor icon, click on
create shortcut," to mean that somehow an icon called "Editor" must be
found in the "My Computer" folder.
Now, the meaning of this was only to make a shortcut to the XY executable?
Got it. However, when I try that, I get just the editor without my
startup.int file, which is rather useless.
I always start XY4 with a XY4.BAT file with the content :
	break=off
	editor ,d:\xy4\start4.int/e4000
	break=on
However, a shortcut on the desktop pointing to this .bat file does not
work. So, I'll live with my DOS window.

Don't know. It is just a matter of typing "XY4", and it loads in a second.
And sometimes I want to use TSE or some other DOS program, so I am happy
with going to DOS first.
