XYWIN

[hseaver@xxxxxxxx (Harmon Seaver)]

  If you can remove all vestiges of the buttons and icons on the screen, what
then is left to make it better than Xy4, aside from being optimized for Windoz,
I mean? Does it run faster under Windoz than Xy4? Even having a few buttons on
the side as you described doesn't interest me -- I almost never use a mouse in
Xy4, with the except of when I'm writing things like this e-mail message and
then I'm doing it in a OS/2 dos window session, not my usual full-screen mode,
and so I sometimes use the mouse to paste some text into the XY4 screen.
Otherwise, I'd much rather use the keys to do all that stuff. Much faster to
flick a finger onto ^F7 for a spell check, or shift F7 for thesaurus, etc.
Taking one's hands off the key board to reach for a mouse when writing is
counter productive. Even tho
I have a Logitech trackball made for laptops attached to the right end of my
keyboard. And, if you have a decent keyboard, with all 12 of the F keys
vertical on the left end of the keyboard, as God, in his infinite wisdom,
blessed be He, decreed they should be, then it's exceedingly fast to do
keystrokes.
  Also, I must admit that I don't quite understand what the mouse was or
wasn't doing in the other posts -- I haven't seen that, but perhaps that's
because I use OS/2 and don't have that problem. Or maybe just because I don't
use a mouse enough within XY4 (and I've never used it with
XY 3) to have experienced it.
