No, Harry. I didn't fully set up TAME for colors and underlining
etc., just used XY's native screen conventions. Truth is, I have not
gone under the TAME hood in a long time. I've been using NB for a
while now because it's a lot less trouble to move back and forth with
RTF for student work. Also it took a lot of time to translate my most
recent book from XY to Word; my fault because I'd never really
learned Word formatting conventions. A while back Robert suggested
that NB was the future of XY, and now I agree. They're working on a
32-bit version so the program can run on W7-64. Also Robert's NB on a
stick made it easy to work on any WIN machine anywhere. I still have
the toes of one foot in the XY pond, but I'm getting deeper and
deeper into the other program.
