Msg: Re: Two systems for running Xy4 under macOS

Complete success with XY4vDosMac.

White text color is easy. Found it in my old settings.dfl. NM=31. XY4vDosMac is now fully functional for me.

I downloaded today's latest XY4DBMac. It automatically found my XY folder -- very nice.

The keyboard assignments for the new clipboard commands are in there. However, when I try to use those functions I get an error message: File not found. B:\XY4\SEND.PM Ditto for GET.PM.

A Finder search couldn't find those .pm files inside the XY4DBMac package, whereas they are easily found in the XY4vDosMac package. I haven't done any drive reassignments on the XY4DBMac.

Once again, thanks Dr. Mendelson for your precision and patience, and thanks Kari Eveli for the .kbd assignments comparison.

And now: XY4vDosMac is working!

Text color is still gray but I will experiment with TestMode soon. XY4DBMac will probably have to wait until the weekend, but I expect the path will be smoother after all these instructive stumbles.
