Paul,

I'll try to address your issues.

Oops, I removed VCLIP, VPASTE, VDUAL as unnecessary given that Robert's
CLIP.EXE should work now. I suggest changing your Copy and Paste keys
as follows:

Copy:
nn=DZBXs,a,d,/,n,v, ,L,P,T,4,Q2

Paste:
nn=NOJM2,.,c,l,i,p,w,p,Q2

Again, my bad. I should have noted that you need to add a setting to
XYWWWEB.REG that tells U2 the path location of vDos.exe (or vDos-
lfn.exe):

vDosDir=d:\path

In XYWWWEB.REG, check your OED setting. If it reads

OED=D:\OED\OEDXP.EXE

change it to

OED=D:\OED

i.e., omit the filename, just supply the directory path.

(Full disclosure: I'm running OED v2 under 64-bit Windows 7, and I
experience the compatibility issues you allude to. So I use an
alternate method to access the OED from XyWrite.)

Let me know if this helps. If (when) we get things working, I'll
document the fixes in the ReadMe.
