Yes. Just assign the table=alt keys just as you had them in version 3,
and copy over your altkeys.sav file, and have it load in your
startup.int. Viz:

TABLE=ALT
1=ES
2=@1
3=@2
4=@3
5=@4
6=@5
7=@6
8=@7
9=@8
10=@9
11=@0

... . . .

16=@Q
17=@W
18=@E
19=@R
20=@T
21=@Y
22=@U
23=@I
24=@O
25=@P

etc.

For those experimenting with Nota Bene, will, er, umm, nota bene: this
trick will work in that program too.

Of course not.

Startup.int loads my keyboard file, my altkeys.sav file, and my printer
and spell files.

If you're going to worry about Y2K, then worry about Global Warming and
don't worry about any verions of XyWrite.

Hoping this helps and still in shirtsleeves at latitude 41, zipcode
