Re: XyIII+ in WinXP

[Mark Garvey mark.garvey@xxxxxxxx]

Well, that couldn't have been easier. I followed the instrux, created a
shortcut, and voila. It's coming up in a small-ish window that I'm
unable to resize. I'd be interested in hearing how to run it
full-screen, or at least in a larger screen than it's running in now
(I'm on a 14-inch laptop, and the Xy window is taking up about a quarter
of the screen.

After not running Xy for at least three years, it's interesting how
quickly some of my keyboard shortcuts came to mind. Told you those
neural pathways were burned in.
Thanks again, and any pointers about changing screen size, fonts, etc.
would be appreciated.
