I take it that you meant, just above "Text Font." Anyway, you seem to have
something very different in many respects than what I have. Your original
downloaded file, is it from 7/28/06 and 771220 bytes (using the DOS dir
command)?

I assume you also know to take advantage of the settable leading with the
Winkey-# option (i.e., Winkey-1, Winkey-2, etc.).

I'm a bit confused by all the configuration files in different directories.
Maybe it's just me. I basically modify XyWrite.app.tam in the Program Files
directory, but D. Thomas says there's another one I should be experimenting
with, and I haven't tried that.
Patricia says that a .PRN file might make the difference. In STARTUP.INT I
load hp4-plus.prn. I seem to recall that that uses LJ4.BIN. If you have
those, try them. If you don't, I think they're on the XYWWWEB site.

Under the dialog box that comes up when you left-click on the icon at the
left of the title bar.

I don't see how. Pre5 didn't have these options.

Something in there is taking effect, for sure, because it has kept the
color settings I made for earlier versions.
