Re: Dragon NaturallySpeaking and Xy

[ralph j gray rgrayauto@xxxxxxxx]

Dear Harry,

I've just purchased version 9 and have yet to install it. I plan to put
it in an IBM laptop running W2000.
Getting the Dragon to do XyWrite would be wonderful. Can you outline the
steps you took for such a successful (and welcome) outcome?

thanks,
ralph
