Thanks to Paul for sending the little program.Unfortunately, it did not solve my XyWin problem. XW.EXE still does nothing when clicked on, when RUN or when launched from a C: prompt. This deadness occurs under XP on my laptop but not under Win98 on my desktop.I may have to just give up XyWin on the laptop, in favor of NB. Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx
