Be more specific: When exactly does it pause? Doing what? Mine runs like
lightning under XP, full screen, fast CPU. No lag whatsoever that I discern,
in any operation.

XyWrite wasn't written for Win98, so there was never any Win98 compatibility
intended or contemplated. It was written for DOS, full screen -- as I imagine
you know, "Si". Which SP level are you at? SP2 solves some cursor issues, as
did SP4 in W2K. But first, may I ask who you are? We're all friends here...
