That's interesting, Kari, I didn't know you were using VMware for XP.
May I ask whether your VBox/W2K setup allows XyWrite to access the
host drive by letter? Its inability to do this when I was using was
what caused me to switch to VMware. (i.e., say your host drive, or a
folder on your host drive, has been assigned by Z:, can you get a
directory listing of Z: in Xy4?)
