I tried to access xysearch and feel like I am suffering from
dementia. I had a memory that there had been discussion on
starting xywrite from an icon. I had a recollection that Robert
had written clear instructions that worked beautifully. I went
to the web page http://www.freelists.org/archive/xywrite/ href="http://www.freelists.org/archive/xywrite/
I tried icon and shortcut but nothing turned up that was relevant to me..
I think the discussion occurred some years ago. Is there anyway of
accessing those older posts. If not could Robert or Carl please post the
diwcussions on icons and shortcuts again. I am using windows xp home on
one computer and windows xp pro on another.
On entering xywrite from my icon, I enter a window rather than full screen.
I than "alt" enter to get a full screen and from my perspective it seems to work
as well as when the world was in dos. I have no problem reading the screen
and the fonts on the screen seem fine. The only thing is I always get
a horizontal screen across the page which disappears when I alt W and than hit x
key. Since I have no problem with what I have, and I feel uncomfortable in
windows, I am afraid to tinker and ruin what so far is working.
Also where will I find the conventions for listing key strokes and things
like that.
Off the topic I used to have program called zyindex which made a
concordance of all the wordperfect and xywrite and other text files that were
designated. I could than do a boolen login search win zylab and
would almost instantly find all the references in the files subject to the
concordance. I would love to find an old working
copy of zyindex( my disks no longer work) Would anyone
know where I could find the old dos program or one that
would work like it did. I have no need for searching graphics, just
wordperfect and xywrite and text files.
Thanks for the help.
