This can't be done in version 3.5x. You must have version 4 for DOS or
XyWin. In the newer versions, after your startup.int runs, enter this
from the command line:

Default 1a=1 (those are arabic one's not l.c. ells).

Then, in expanded mode, call the Woid file you want to see. There will
be garbage top and bottom, which you can remove.

Notes, if there are any, will have an ASCII 5 (or perhaps 6) in place of
the proper numbers. You will lose all italics, superscripts, and bolds.

Finally, you will have to run XyWrite's good old fixcr.exe utility if
you need for the hard returns to be recognized.

All things considered, I would rather have root canal.
