Dear Harry
Unfortunately I seem to do this or try to do it fairly often, not by
experiment but rather through blunder because I forget I already have a full
screen xywrite already working. Invariably I get disaster because in
windows xp when I try to open the second xywrite it loads the opening screen and
stops. I then have to go to alt tab and delete the second command prompt
icon on the taskbark.

Subject: Two or more Xys open
I wonder if anyone has experimented with opening a second (or
third)
instance of XyWrite instead of a new window in the same instance,
for
certain functions?
For example, Robert's CITE* routine. When it
just opens a new window,
rather than going back and forth between windows,
might it not be better to
open a new instance of Xy, which could then be
visible in tandem with the
file being CITEd?
Same for opening a
directory--why not have the directory show in another
Xy, rather than
another window?
I can see problems: changes made in one Xy don't show
up in the other.
Experimentation shows you can make inconsistent SAves in
the two open
instances of the same file. But maybe it would be okay for
things one isn't
going to change, such as a CITE output, or a directory
listing. Or where
you carefully restrict yourself to different files in
each Xy.
