Re: Running XyWrite under Windows XP

[ArtL7@xxxxxxxx]

Are these changes done in DOX/Xywrite files or XP files, and if so, which
ones? thanks, art

Regarding the recent question about the MODE command in DOS...
I got the following information off the website, EasyDOS Command Index, at
http://www.csulb.edu/~murdock/dosindex.html


MODE
(External)

MODE n
MODE LPT#[:][n][,][m][,][P][retry]
MODE [n],m[,T]
MODE (displaytype,linetotal)
MODE COMn[:]baud[,][parity][,][databits][,][stopbits][,][retry]
MODE LPT#[:]=COMn [retry]
MODE CON[RATE=(number)][DELAY=(number)]
MODE (device) CODEPAGE PREPARE=(codepage) [d:][path]filename
MODE (device) CODEPAGE PREPARE=(codepage list) [d:][path]filename
MODE (device) CODEPAGE SELECT=(codepage)
MODE (device) CODEPAGE [/STATUS]
MODE (device) CODEPAGE REFRESH


So, it appears, David, that you don't need a colon in the command and it
should then read:

mode con rate=32 delay=1

This command sets both the typematic rate, the rate at which the characters
are repeated when you hold down the key and the delay, the time (in quarters of
a second) that the character starts repeating after you initially press the
key.

Hope this helps.
