Besides which, there's another issue we've talked about before, in
regard to Xy-4: you can only load .KBD files so many times (not sure
exactly how many, but it's not a lot, and this apt to be influenced by
the size of one's .KBD file), before hitting a serious out-of-memory
error, forcing you to Quit from Xy and re-load.
