I like this idea. It's basically the way I use XyWrite to produce
documents now, except not in real time. For formatted documents, I
print to PDF to get a print preview. For web pages, I use the U2
routine HTMVIEW to refresh the browser view of the HTML document that
I'm editing in XyWrite. This works very well with the source document
(XyWrite) on one monitor and the output (PDF or browser) on an
adjacent monitor.
