Harry,

My first experience with screensavers was ca. 1993 on a 486 with a
"whopping" 25 mhz chip and a super vga monitor running the hideous
Windows 3.1. I discovered that they would interfere with long XPL
routines (such as moving embedded notes to a separate file).


Since then, and until my XP machine, I have always declined any and all
opportunities to use screensavers. However, with my XP machine I have
simply forgotten to deal with this issue until just now, which makes me
think that XyWrite under XP is impervious, or, more likely, the machine
runs so fast that the XPL program concludes 'ere the damage is done.


But thanks for the reminder.
