I liked the "dos/nv/x/z" command, but it still wouldn't work. I finally
found the problem: I was running XyWrite from a shortcut on the
Win95 desktop, and under Properties/Program/Advanced the
choice "Prevent MS-DOS programs from detecting Windows" had
been checked!

I used Tim's command line without the quotation marks and it
worked fine... (no spaces in the path or file name, though). With
the quotation marks I was having difficulties.

Thanks to everyone.
