Re: Tilde



I don't seem to be saying this clearly, since everyone misunderstands. If
ALL your XyWrite files (Editor.exe, startup.int, etc.) are in Program
Files, which to DOS is PROGRA~1, Editor.exe cannot find them, because
it's reading the tilde with its default value of the soft hyphen. And so
it never gets to STARTUP.INT, or any other file, where you have given it
another value. So you simply mustn't put XyWrite in PROGRA~1, or any
other directory with more than eight letters to its name.
