Since I've just learned of this list, I think I'll ask a few more questions about the way XyWrite behaves under OS/2. Again, I'm using Version 4.017, under OS/2 Warp Version 3. I usually run XyWrite from a DOS window session under OS/2. One of the strange things that happens is that, when I mark text by holding down the shift key and moving the cursor keys, it often happens that somewhere along the way, the text-marking stops, as if I had let go of the Shift key, even though I have not. I have to go back to where the marking stopped and hold down the shift key again, and then I can usually finish what I was marking. I never had this happen when I used XyWrite 4 under DOS or Windows 3.1, before I installed OS/2. For that matter, I never have this happen on my home computer, which runs XyWrite under DOS 6.22. The other problem that I have is when I try to use a XyWrite WYSIWIG session. When I first installed OS/2, I had 16-color graphics because I didn't know that I needed the proper driver for my graphics card. But with 16-color graphics, the WYSIWIG session worked in a windowed session, though it was black letters on a blue background (or was it blue letters on a black background?). Then I could press Alt-Home to change to a full-screen session, and the graphics would work fine. Since I installed the proper driver to use SVGA color graphics, the WYSIWIG session doesn't work in a windowed session. It says "XyWrite -- Suspended" at the top of the window, and an OS/2 box comes on saying that the system doesn't support this mode in a window session. So I hit Alt-Home to switch to a full-screen session. And the WYSIWIG screen works fine. Except that the command line freezes. Every time I hit F5, it puts the command "ca" without a file name on the command line, without my having typed it. And an error message comes on the message line saying that I have to specify a file. The same thing happens if I try to hit F6 to change to another XyWrite window. I've found only one way to get XyWrite back working again. I hit Alt-Esc, which minimizes XyWrite and returns to the OS/2 desktop. When I click on the minimized icon, XyWrite returns, working normally. Enough questions for now. I'll have more later. ============================================================================== A.
