Re: Undocumented keyboard functions NB 3.0 - knowledgebase needed

>  I think that NB 4.5a is more akin to XY3, and I am not sure that there
  was a DOS version of NB that was comperable to XY4.

N.B. 3.0 and XY 3+ were contemporaries. The underlying word processor is the same. The differences
are minor. The same XPL programs can be made to work most of the time. NB has its own menu system
loosely attached to the program, XY has à la carte menus, handling of display/printer modes is
somewhat different. NB 3.0 had a clumsy textbase addition. NB 4.0, Signature and its successor XY4
are different. There is no clear way to compare these. Less common ground to say the least.

Let me quote Wikipedia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nota_Bene_(word_processor) ]:

"NB caught on rapidly in the academic community; a number of current users started with
versions 1 or 2 between 1983 and 1986. Version 3.0 came out in 1988, and version 4.0 in 1992.
Version 4.5, a major update, came out in 1995. It was the last NB DOS version.
Nota Bene 5.0 for Windows was first shown, in a pre-release version, at the annual meetings of the
American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature in November 1998. Scholar's
Workstation version 5.0 was formally released in 1999, and the Lingua Workstation in 2000. The new
Nota Bene suite retained and greatly refined Ibidem and Orbis, and became a fully Windows program
without sacrificing the customisability that has always been a large part of its appeal for many
users.

Version 6.0 appeared in 2002, version 7.0 in 2003, and version 8.0 in 2006. The current version is
Nota Bene 8.0.L."
