This is not terribly helpful to Nikki. Yes, XY3 did permit working with
double-spaced text on-screen as a default. I tried it as an experiment
for a day or two many years ago. Not my way of working, but maybe others
would find it easier on the eyes. (People tend to forget about the factor
of eyesight, but, even as a young fellow, I find myself thinking about it
A LOT when I'm confronted with webpages in spindly 9-point fonts...)

So, has anyone tried to work the draft/edit view of XY4 so that it comes
out double-spaced on screen? That's what Nikki wants to know after all,
and she's asking about draft view, not graphic view. All I know is that
changing the linespacing in "Preferences" was not enough to effect a
change. Perhaps intervention in the printer file?
