William,
Thanks to Robert and Carl, Xy4 has a tremendous potential (the U2 file).
Just visit XyWWWeb and see.
I am a Ventura user too. Then I use Ansified XyWrite 4 (the version
developed by Robert that writes ANSI files) and in Ventura I keep my
texts external. Then I can edit them in XyWrite without conversions at all.
But I understand that you can feel more comfortable with your usual
practices...
