Is it possible to create a batch file to launch Xywrite so that a specific
file is opened? All my attempts to do so have failed, though I can open the
program through a batch file.
I have already created an icon on my desktop that enables me call up
Xywrite by the click of the mouse button. This, however, does not also
allow a specific file to be called up at the same time. By creating a
shortcut icon, does it mean that XyWrite is now running under windows?
It is good news that Notabene will continue to upgrade and make it
compatible with the XPL, I imagine, in every aspect. Can Anne tell us
whether this will also refer to NotaBene for dos.
I find that even an elementary knowledge of XPL will enable one to create
a wonderful set of editing tools that makes word processing delightfully
efficient. But even without XPL, stretching the change/replace and search
capabilities of XyWrite to the extreme limit, will amazingly streamline
editing and the input of data. Possibly XyWrite's unique programming
feature is it's remarkable versatility of combining XPL functions, commands
and the change/replace and search features in a programs that not only
takes the tedium out of entering text but works wonders in every other way.
The question then arises, can there be time, when it is no longer possible
for the developers to upgrade further, or that the upgrades are only minor
or hardly discernible; or does the upgrades eventually rest with the user
who must acquaint himself with every possible programming feature that is
contained in XPL. I am sure we are all appreciative that XyWrite has
revealed and made available XPL, even though very scantily in their manuals.
As a last thought I think it is possible to write an entire volume on the
change/replace and search features of XYwrite.
This has been sent using Eudora, but I have still not worked out for it to
disconnect the phone call once all the messages have been received and sent.
