Russ,
I didn't do anything special.
I was just messing about and found out that if I clicked on the window
in VPC while running XY, then click dragged the cursor, I got a
flashing dotted line so I expanded it around a block of text and then
hit the CMD C (copy command).
I was then able to paste the text into AppleWorks via the CMD V (paste
command). When I discovered this I highlighted some text in AppleWorks
and did the same copy command and then went to the VPC Xy window and
hit CMD V and it worked.
All I can say is give it a try.

Thanks for the 2 cents - Great posting Russ. I too am one of the ones
on the list who uses Xy on a MAC. I am using VPC 6 and IBM DOS 7.0.
I am operating Xy on my PowerBook Titanium G4 and the really cool
thing is that you can cut and paste between Mac programs and Xy just
by point and click. It's just unbelievable.
Joe,
How are you doing that? I can't seem to get that to work for me? What
are you doing on the XY side? Can you take pieces of text and paste
them back and forth from XY?
Maybe i'm doing something wrong!
I actually got Xy running wonderfully on a $20 PowerBook 100 laptop
via SoftPC emulating a 286MHz PC, proving as you stated, you don't
have to go with the most expensive MAC out there to run XY in a DOS
box. I haven't tried to operate on my PowerBook Lombard G3 which is
using OS 9.2 but that may be my next experiment.
That ought to work as my Pismo is the later version of the Lombard.
This has been my experience as well.
Great to hear from you!
Thanks
Russ
