I have FaxWorks and I tried it (with David A.'s change to settings.dfl) but
it didn't work. (FaxWorks sends okay by itself, independent of Xy.) FaxWorks
didn't seem to know that it was supposed to be activated, even though it was
already loaded and in an inactive window. I suspect that the driver I told
Xy to use was not the right one to activate FaxWorks. I used:
LPT3  C:\XY\HP4-PLUS.PRN   FAX output
(I have HP4-PLUS.PRN as my Xy default driver). Is this right?
Since I am over 5 lines down, I can say: HELP.
