Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I think either Mr. Gates
dropped many of the adjustments you could make through properties or I cannot
find where to do it. since he has done much better than me in
cmputers I assume I cannot find how to do what you thought might
help. As I pointed out to you in an earlier email when I was
unable to disable the switch of shift alt enter in xp there seem to be
many less options in properties under the icons than there were in win98se
Hopefully someone knows how to make the change and maybe than we can cure the
problem. To a limited degree the alt enter

Avrom, I don't know very much about Jewish liturgical music,
but if it's
anything like the Gregorian Chant that some Roman Catholic and
Anglican
churches still use (and which, we were told in school, was derived
from
Jewish chant), you will have difficulties trying to transcribe it
with
either Sibelius or Finale. Both programs, my choir director tells me,
try
to enforce modern rules of musical notation that don't hold in the
free
rhythm of chant. We haven't yet been able to find any programs that
are
"free rhythm-friendly." Good luck.
As for the Freeze, I don't
have access to XP or Windows 2000, but in 95
and 98, if you open a DOS
program by clicking on a desktop icon (which
points to what is called a
pif, for program information file), you have
an option to close the
"Window"(which can be either a "full-screen" one
or one that does not not
take up the full screen, and which has been
called windowed mode or DOS box
on this list) when the program finishes
or not. If you don't check off the
"Close on exit" box on the Program tab
of the Properties screen (right
clidk the icon, then choose Properties),
you will be left at what can seem
like a frozen screen. See if that
option exists in XP. And how are you
exiting XyWrite? By typing Quit on
the command line or clicking on the X in
the upper-right hand corner?
