Re: Xymode NB or NBX screenshots web page

[Kari Eveli <lexitec@xxxxxxxx>]

Harry,

It think XY refers to spatial coordinates, so logically both letters
should be present. The original idea was to be able to fill the blank
page by giving appropriate commands in both directions in a simple way.
As XY was present in XyQuest and XyWrite, it might be worth preserving
as a historical reference. (Another candidate could be XW which has been
also used). But I would suggest: NB-XY (which could be interpreted as
NB's XY mode), the hyphen stresses the double nature of it and pays
respect to NB's true origins.
