Thanks for the info. I have now installed Tame version 5.1 pre7 (which
I'm told works best with Xy), and have verified that Tame indeed allows
quick and easy color changes as you say. So far, so good. Plus, the fact
that one can simply drag the frame to change the size of the DOS-Box
window and have the font size grow or shrink accordingly is also _very_
nice. But but but... the problem that I had on my first attempt is still
there, namely the fact that with Tame loaded the cursor movement speed
and the repeat rate of _all_ keys in Xy slows down to an absolutely
unusable, like totally molasses level:
Take the attached file and copy it over the file of the same name in
\Program Files\Tame 5.1.\Settings.
