Re: running xy 3+ under windows xp - aarrgghhh!

  Something usefull, in Xy3+, for those who use XPL a lot and need to
relabel their scripts, is to use  and set in REORGNIZ.HLP,
built by Robert and Carl, in the 'Relabel' help screen, a first character
that will avoid to relabel that label: '=' in my example. So every programs
label will be relabeled, (this helps a lot to understand the script) but the
labels of comments remain untouched. There are very clear instruccions
inside
Reorgniz.hlp to set this. Otherwise relabel will erase the label of comments
into a new label like, for example, .
