C an anyone advise me how to download
Stack.doc and Ctrlchars (I believe this file contains more programming
information). Stack I believe keeps a list of Command line entries. Harry may be
the best person to inform one about the Stack program as he went to a great deal
of trouble to get it right.
As Xpl and XyWrite is over 20 years in development to reach its
present state, it is replete with so many subtle aids in the form of Df values
and Va settings, that one has to be a Xpl detective to know which one to use.
One of the things I had to investigate is Va$Wa. A program contaning this
setting appears below in encoded form. Its purpose is to place files into every
open window.
XPLeNCODE v2.0

use Va$Ws in the encoded program below. Va$Wa did not work. The solution only
came to me when I looked at Clrw in the U2 program which deals with the
closing of files. This is a much more comprehensive approach to closing windows
than my version. When I examined this U2 program I noticed that Va$Wa was not
used. So when I replaced Va$Wa with Va$Ws, my program closed all the
windows.

settings. I am sure there must be a reason why Va$Wa cannot be used for both
opening and closing wndows.
