I don't see why my method wouldn't work in XP Mode. There are four
basic elements, none of which is specific to VirtualBox: a shared
folder accessible to both 64- and 32-bit Windows; a BATch file
running continuously, in the background, in 64-bit Windows;
AutoHotKey (freeware) installed on the 64-bit side; and Xy4-DOS with
U2 running on the 32-bit side. I'm still tinkering with it, but I'll
post the files over the weekend so you can give it a try.
