It works nicely, syncing your Xy setup across all machines (desktop,
netbook, etc.). One thing I highly recommend is to assign the
Dropbox folder to a drive letter via the SUBST command--I use X: --
and put your main XyWrite program directory one level down. (So, for
example, in my system, X:\ is the Dropbox, and X:\XY4 is my Xy
directory.) Do this on all of your machines. If you do Xy will
always be on the same d:\path on all of your machines. And you can
be confident that it's the same XyWrite setup on *every* machine.

By the way, when I shut down and restarted the VM, the keyboard lag
went away! Everything is snappy now. Very gratifying. I can't tell
you how thrilled I am to have Xy4 (complete with U2, external 32-bit
programs [also saved in the Dropbox], and Python/XyPy) running
fullscreen seamlessly under 64-bit Windows. Halleluia!

PS: There's a tagline about unregistered febootimail being tacked on
to the mail messages I'm sending from Xy. My copy of febootimail is
actually registered -- wonderful freeware utility for sending emails
via the DOS command prompt, supports attachments, HTML (if you
really want it), etc., etc. -- but I can't register it in the VM due
to a missing DLL. I'm sure I'll solve that little glitch in due
time.
