Re: Hello to Xywrite mail list

Hi Michael and welcome to the world of XYWrite:

 I've been using it since early 1980s and have
been VERY VERY satisfied. This has been enhanced
by my finding this web group - a user's group that
shares a great deral of information including but
not limited to various macros (AKA XPL for Xywrite
Programming Language).
 I am currently using version4 for windows and
have used 4 for DOS in the past. I constantly use
the windows clipboard between XYWRITE and other
applications including E-Mail and forms on the
internet (I also use internet forms in a local
mode also using the clipboard).
 Please pass all other questions. I believe
you'll find lots of very friendly and helpful
people in this group. Contact TTG through this
site to order either the DOS or Windows version.
