Re: Long Lost XPL Routine [was: young for life}



The problem is that, for some reason, I am finding the documentation for XY4
opaque. The way it comes out of the box, it does not act like XY3 in many
ways. XY3 was always self-evident to me; I got along fine with it, but I
seem to have some sort of block with XY4. I'm not very smart with computer
programming and setup; here's a question that I am sure you will find
incredibly stupid, but, what the hell, I've gotten used to admitting my
stupidity as I've gotten (much) older: I can't find the damn startup.int
file or the keyboard file in my XY4. I know how to rewrite the startup.int
file for XY3, but for some reason I'm having a devil of a time making heads
nor tales of XY4. I would dearly love to change the define functions back to
F1 and F3, etc.

Part of the problem is that my practice has gotten so busy that I can't
spend hours poring through documentation and stumbling around until I figure
it out. Somebody just telling me how the hell to do it would be MUCH
appreciated.
