≪ Comment: It's not just a "preview"--it is an editable graphical view (but

Right, Harry. I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. My GoScript preview is
uneditable, but is true and has no side effects or screen font overhead.

≪ I use euroquotes in the .kbd file of Xy4. Of course, they are the
three-byte version that you get with ctrl-shift 174 or 175, but they work.

Try a .kbd entry like ...

	nn=SI,{,m,d,n,m,},CI

... ( {}=CtrlShift 174-175 ) and see if v4 will place the entry *in text
or on CMline*. That's how I enter modes in text, and put them on the
CMline to search. I compose xpl from a set of .kbd sequences in my
Ctrl table like (from memory in my unix editor, so approximate) ...

	nn=XPSI,{,i,f,{,i,s,0,0,},=,=,{,i,s,8,6,},},CIPWPWCRCR

... set up to be edited as entered. They give v4 a fit, and trying to
put, e.g., a label command on the CMline from a key to search is ...
oh, well. Carl helped me do U2 substitutes, but they're still cranky.
If I'd never used xyW before v4 it wouldn't matter. But I have and it
does to me. 						--a
