Nothing? Mine works about 95%, i.e. everything is fine except for the
hard-coded keystrokes.

It's their UA UserAccess default. The XyWrite default was 0 (DF blocks remain
DeFined no matter where the cursor is located); the NB default is 1 (DF
blocks are released if cursor leaves the DF block, and the Delete key zaps the
whole block -- isn't this the standard behavior of lots of Windows programs?).
So set UA back to 0 in NB's DeFauLts file...
