Hyphens

["Robert H. Kubie" rhkubie@xxxxxxxx]

I have a dumb question.
I now use XyWrite for Windows, with menus. I have been using XyWrite since
it was a DOS program being sold by XyQuest, in Boston.
I used to know how to change my keyboard file so that the minus (or hyphen)
key on the number pad was the same as the minus (or hyphen) key on the top
row of the QWERTY keyboard, i.e. the same as the key between the "zero" and
the "equals" keys on the top row.
(I can't remember if making this change cost me anything, that is, that if
I could no longer effect a subtraction in the command line by using the
hyphen key on the number pad, or any like or similar lost function.)
But the question is now moot. I can no longer figure out how to make the
change.
It would be useful to me, because every morning I set up a daily journal or
diary file named (for today's, for example) "09-01-99".  If when I am
entering the command "NE 09-01-99" I use the hyphen or minus key on the
number pad, XyWrite tells me I have too many letters in the filename. So I
have to use two hands to enter the command--a small but recurring pain
where I bend.
If I change the hyphen/minus key on the number pad to be the same as the
value for the hyphen/minus key on the QWERTY keys, the problem vanishes.
I know how to make the substitution. For that matter, I also how to
un-make it, if I don't like the result.

But where is the damn keyboard file?

Can someone put me out of my misery?

Thank you.
