Paul,

That's as it should be. HUH.AHK is the routine that periodically
archives the command stack in the background. However, the
instructions that I provided with U2 v120 are pre-vDosXy, so HUH.AHK
is probably doing nothing for you (though harmlessly). XyWebU2.int
also launches another AutoHotKey routine, AUTOSAVE.AHK, if and only if
AUTOSAVE.AHK exists in the directory with Editor.exe -- in other
words, if you've launched AutoSAve once, manually, with A ON.
Again, this won't work in vDosXy with existing instructions. (The
issue, by the way, is not due to any defect in vDosXy; it's simply the
fact that vDosXy/vDos doesn't recognize keystrokes with scan codes
higher than 104 or 105 -- probably because DOS itself doesn't. The fix
is easy: reconfiure HUH and AUTOSAVE so that the poked keystrokes have
scan codes that vDos recognizes. I'll make that clear in the revised
instructions and provide suitable defaults.)

Yes, don't fret, just leave it out. I'm planning to make the new
version user-configurable, so that you can pick and choose which
routines, if any, that you want to run at startup.
