Hi Flash. See my notes below..

Mark,
Few of us work in full screen mode. You can similate it by adding the
following line to your *.PRN file (which controls your screen display):
SL=xx
where xx stands for the number of lines to be displayed on screen.
Default is 25. The cmd line and header take up three, so figure 28
actually. Once you set this in Xy's *.PRN file, you will have to change
the properties in the desktop shortcut (see previous screen shots) to
match this value (28) so as to really see them in the windowed mode. It
may take a bit of fiddling to get a screen size you are comfortable
with--fiddling with the *.PRN file in Xy3 and manually matching it in
the shortcut properties.
Yes, this seems to be doing the trick. Going to take a bit of tweaking,
but I think I'll get to something that works for me.
Next tweak: you may want/have to modify your KeyBoarD file to get full
use out of your ThinkPad's keyboard. Is this familiar turf to you?
Yes, I used to tweak the daylights out of the keyboard file back in the
day. I'm sure I'll get back into that eventually.
Harry (resident Aristotelean) pointed out that there have been
significant additions beyond box-standard Xy4. Some gifted programmers
here at the forum have developed some nifty plug-ins the XyQuest
engineers never dreamed of. These include diagnostics, support for long
file names, file dates after year 2000, a CLIP.EXE program for
copy-pasting between Xy and Windows apps. (both directions), and dozens
more. Some of the plug-ins work only in Xy4. I don't need them, so I
have had no reason to ugrade to Xy4. You can't lead a gift horse to
water.
well now.. you're tempting me. I like the idea of long file names and
copy/paste between Win and Xy. Maybe after I get my bearings with III
and see where I'm feeling limitations, I'll do the upgrade.
Enjoy your walk on the mountain.
