Dear Patricia
Unfortunately I hit the wrong bottom on my prior email before I
had a
chance to finish.
to a limited degree the alt enter seems to help. It is a three
step
process. the window shrinks from full screen to a window,
I hit the x in
the corner and then end now but it avoids the
freeze. In response to your
question by either typing quit on
the command line or going to the menu file
exit but usually
by typing quit on the command line.
thanks again for your help on both issues

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I think either
Mr. Gates
dropped many of the adjustments you could
make through properties or I cannot
find where to do it.
since he has done much better than me in
cmputers I
assume I cannot find how to do what you thought might
help. As I pointed out to you in an earlier email when I
was
unable to disable the switch of shift alt enter in
xp there seem to be
many less options in properties
under the icons than there were in
win98se Hopefully
someone knows how to make the change and maybe
than we
can cure the problem. To a limited degree the
alt enter

Avrom, I don't know very much about Jewish liturgical music,
but if it's
anything like the Gregorian Chant that some Roman Catholic
and Anglican
churches still use (and which, we were told in school, was
derived from
Jewish chant), you will have difficulties trying to
transcribe it with
either Sibelius or Finale. Both programs, my choir
director tells me, try
to enforce modern rules of musical notation that
don't hold in the free
rhythm of chant. We haven't yet been able to find
any programs that are
"free rhythm-friendly." Good luck.
As for
the Freeze, I don't have access to XP or Windows 2000, but in 95
and 98,
if you open a DOS program by clicking on a desktop icon (which
points to
what is called a pif, for program information file), you have
an option
to close the "Window"(which can be either a "full-screen" one
or one that
does not not take up the full screen, and which has been
called windowed
mode or DOS box on this list) when the program finishes
or not. If you
don't check off the "Close on exit" box on the Program tab
of the
Properties screen (right clidk the icon, then choose Properties),
you
will be left at what can seem like a frozen screen. See if that
option
exists in XP. And how are you exiting XyWrite? By typing Quit on
the
command line or clicking on the X in the upper-right hand
corner?
