Re: NB as Xy

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Update to update: talked to Steve Siebert and he says the width is *not*
changeable. Also, the font for the prompts and filespec are not changeable,
neither in size nor font-type.
He also said that both Dave Erickson (sp?) and another old XyWrite
programmer (with a Chinese name I didn't catch) tried to fix the Alt-key
problems and couldn't defeat Windows on this. I do still have some problems
here with the alt-key getting stuck as "on." I asked whether the .KBD
Definition stanza could be set to make the ALT key release when it's
lifted, and he said "No." I'm not convinced however, and recall that there
is a switch to use in the Definition stanza that controls this--maybe "n"?
But perhaps they tried that.
On another front, I no longer worry about the U2 routines that I had used
for the guillemets--dropping into the .KBD file the form of the guillemets
that are in the factory NB.KBD works just fine. I did precede the left
guillemet with an XP, which works. So please ignore my previous post about
my frames &2 and &3.
