You can usually tell what a message is replying to by the subject, but your
point is well taken. Better a name than a duplicated message. This one is for
Reesa Marchetti.

The plain and simple way to get a real dash is to type ASCII 196. Hold down
the alt key (or shift+alt for XyWrite 4, maybe Xy III too), do 196 on the
number pad, let up shift+alt. You can assign this to any key you want by
editing the keyboard file.

You are fighting an impossible battle by proceeding without a manual. If you
can't get one, buy Tyson, XyWrite Revealed, which is not basic info, but a gem
on customization etc.

Doesn't anyone else on the list have a spare or unused manual to offer RM?
