Without actually going back through a lot of past postings here, I'm inclined to think that was probably it.

Maybe you mean the problem with displaying directories in XyWrite when
the guest OS is W2K? I don't know if that's been resolved or not. But
Carl has been using Win 7 as the guest OS. I would bet that W2K would be
perceptibly faster but have not made the comparison.

The only issue I have with VBox -- and it's small potatoes -- is
that 


while Alt-Enter switches XyWrite INTO VBox's virtual
full-screen 


display, hitting Alt-Enter again doesn't toggle BACK to windowed
view; 


it causes XyWrite to freeze. I've devised a simple XPL workaround --
a 


routine that calls U2's SAVESESS to save the state of my
full-screen 


XyWrite session, QUITs, then restarts XyWrite in windowed mode
and 


restores my editing session. It works, but I miss the simplicity
of 


the Alt-Enter toggle.
