Re: U2 version 119

There is a settings.dfl deep in
xy4\pictures\orig that has an sl=50. I don't know what orig is or
where it came from but it has a handful of old settings files, a
startup and a kbd; maybe I created it as a place to hide
superceded things and forgot about it, maybe



OK, I think you can DELete those files. Clearly, they're not called by
STARTUP.INT, never referred to, so dump them.


Done


So let's assume that you have set XyWrite's own variables consistently for 25
lines -- it sounds like you've done that.


And the entire c: drive for sl=50. Nada



Let's henceforth desist entirely from launching XyWrite via
Start ==> Run; that's not a good procedure. The Properties attached to a
Desktop Shortcut give you a great deal of flexibility, so use the Shortcut
instead!


Okay.


It seems to me that the 25-line Window Size (and Screen Buffer) Height in those
Properties hasn't really "taken" or "stuck". So do this: create one of those
DIR displays where your cursor disappears out of sight below the bottom of the
(25-line) screen. Alt-Enter so that XyWrite is running (if it isn't already)
in a Desktop Window.


Okay

Does the screen actually display 25 lines, or more?


22 in the text area + cml, status line and ruler


Command: VA/NV SL and *also* VA/NV $SL (add dollar sign in the second
command). Do *both* commands return "25"?  They should.


They don't. Both return 50.


Now click on the
window's little upper-left icon. Down at the bottom of the context menu that
results you should see two entries: Defaults and Properties. I want you to
check the "Layout" tab in *both* of these dialogs: are all Heights set to 25?


We set these both to 25 a few days ago, and they were still 25
when I opened them earlier today.


 > If one or more aren't 25, change them to 25, then "Apply" and
answer "Yes" if


FYI, neither defaults nor properties has an "apply" button or a
"permanent" query. Just an ok button.



if queried as to whether to make this "Permanent" for ALL sessions, not just the
current session. Then close XyWrite and relaunch (from the Shortcut icon).
Check again: are all Heights still set to 25?



Yep.

I owe you answers to one more of your emails last night/early
this morning.



Preparatory to getting printing to work, get a *fresh copy* of POSTGHST.PRN
dated 6 Sept 2005:

(also at:)

Got it the other day. Haven't unzipped it yet.

Again, thanks.
