THANK YOU HARRY. It only took about five minutes of debugging and I solved the CAPSLOCK bug!

It seemed that the problem immediately occurred if any part of my TABLE=XTRA was active. I then
looked at the top of my keyboard file, and noticed that they tables were listed like so:

CTLL=29,99
ALL=56,98
SHIFF=42,54
CASS=101,T:C
XTRA=26

I thought, why not put the XTRA=26 table at the top, so that it comes ahead of CASS (which is the
CAPS table renamed). I made the move, and lo and behold, Xy4 was not frozen when I opened with
CAPSLOCK on in Windows.

Of course, this means that Xy4 started with caps locked, which is a new annoyance. Robert had
mentioned that the idea of setting a CAPS off default in Xy4 in startup.int. Anyone know how to do
this?
