Re: toggling xyW3 delta display

["..." yesss@xxxxxxxx]

≪ Is there some way to prevent these deltas from displaying
temporarily? [...] I use XyW 3.53.≫ --John Paul Newport

One xyWrite 3 !xyWise/!xyWiz utility at the url in my
sig, a file/session manager named !!!, does more tasks
than I could cite without looking at the documentation,
but what it does if you hit the !!!/open key are
--with a dir listed--depending on where the cursor rests,
opens the file or lists/offers to cd to the adjacent dir,
or--if a file is already open--cycles through three views:
1) expanded, 2) page/line numbers displayed, deltas hidden,
and 3) pg/line numbers and deltas displayed.

If you'd rather not use !!! and don't mind (as I do)
a proliferation of itsybitsy pgms, you could write
the fragment that cycles the display to an itsybitsy
pgm and assign it to the key where CM and other
display funcs are now, freeing up the supershift
positions for more productive use:

	{sx12,{va$dt}}{if{pv12}<1}SP NM {ex}{ei}TP {ex}

Lacking the context !!! gives it, a key with the
fragment assigned will wastefully cycle through views
in a dir list too. ...

Since getting in licks for various mailers' idiosyncrasies
seems to be one of this month's diversions, I'll point out
that Bob Zimmerman posted code that in xyW via unix elm
was hopelessly scrambled, whereas Shawn Harrison's code
that confounded Carl's mailer arrived in xyW via elm as
perfectly formed xpl. Probably depends on whether your
mailer is 80x25 or gui.

As for those elm
	1--See it as text
	2--Write it to a file
	3--Just skip it
attachment choices, assuming that your elm is properly
configured and you'll be using the info or pgm on the
wintel platform, skip it every time (3) and dl yr
mailbox to xyW, where you then usually need to shell
out to your mime64 converter. At least that's how things
work around here.
