Glitches in XyDOS 4 &/or XyWin

[Jane Van Tassel 101233.342@xxxxxxxx]

Can anyone advise me on a few minor glitches? The first is unique to XyDOS,
the third to XyWin; the second one occurs in both programs.

(1) In XyDOS (version 4.015), whenever I input a mode change (e.g. hitting
Ctrl+I to begin italic) the beeper sounds.

(2) In XyDOS or in XyWin (version 4.12J), when I release the scroll lock
(i.e. finish recording keystrokes) an extra function call "NI" is inserted
at the cursor.

(3) In XyWin, when I try to insert a bookmark (i.e. Ctrl+Shft+B) the first
thing the program does is beep and put up this error message: "Go to Label
command requires a label command. -Don'tAsk" and offers an "OK" button.
(a) If I click on the OK button (whether it's by hitting  or by
mouse-clicking), the first thing that happens is that an  (line
feed) appears in the file; then I get the expected "Set bookmark" box, with
the usual options First/Second/Cancel.
(b) If I respond to the "Go to Label ..." error message by hitting
, the error message disappears and then the "Set bookmark" options
come up.
(c) Either way, this error message comes up only once in a session, the
first time I try to place a bookmark. Until I've closed and reopened XyWin,
Ctrl+Shift+B will work as they're supposed to.

I realize that none of these features is crippling: the beep (1) is a
trivial irritant, and I can deal with (2) and (3) with just one extra
keystroke each. But one reason, perhaps the primary reason, why I am loyal
to this program
(and I suspect most of my correspondents would agree) is that it (usually)
plays fair with you, and does everything in the open. These glitches are
mysterious; so I wish them gone.

Postscript: In case it's relevant, all these glitches appeared first on the
last PC I was using (a 486 running Win3.1), arising _de novo_ several years
after I'd first installed XyDOS and XyWin. Recently I switched over to the
new PC (P.III running Win98) and of course installed both XyWrites on to
the new hard drive. I installed XyDOS 4 in the normal way, from the
original diskettes from XyQuest (or was it TTG by then?). I couldn't find a
complete set of floppies for XyWin, so I copied the XyWin directory (and
its appendages) file-by-file from the 486 PC to diskettes and from the
diskettes to identically named directories on the P.III.
