I have a routine that prepares a Xy4DOS file for faxing via WordPad. It uses the W4W filter to create an RTF file and then calls the RTF file up in WordPad. Not totally pretty, and some high-level characters may not convert, but it does get the job done. I think I posted it already, but I'll include it again just in case. Be sure to call the program up in Expanded mode and read the documentation within the program. Hint: If you're handy with XPL you can change the filter and the commands and have the program fire up Word instead. Tim Baehr
