I see from your later message that you mean the old routine. Try the
new one (posted today). The functionality is the same, and so is
most of the code; just a few slight tweaks and economies.

Read the caveats in my post earlier today. It's essential to
maintain a plain-vanilla Enter key somewhere on your keyboard. XPL
programs that expect a 2-byte CrLf when the Enter key is pressed
will bomb if the Enter key puts out something else.

Works as expected here -- if I substitute 1-byte guillemets for "«"
and "»": Puts the code at the cursor position. You might want to
change that initial func to GT, to force the cursor into text before
the string is put.

Same difference. Three-byte guillemets are translated into 1-byters.
Puts the string at the cursor position. As expected.

Surely, by "do XPL", you don't mean *execute* the code. KBD-file
programming? No can do in Xy4, unless you use U2's XMACRO facility.
