a XyWrite-on-Mac question

[Bill Troop bill@xxxxxxxx]

Dear all, I have to buy a new laptop (the days when
computer magazine journalists got long-term loaners
are alas quite over!), and would prefer, for many
reasons, to get a Mac rather than a Wintel, though I am
equally comfortable with both systems.

The problem is XyWrite 4, without which I cannot live. It is
more than possible to run XyWrite acceptably under the
MacOS using an Intel PC emulator that lets you run DOS,
Windows 95/98, or Windows NT.

My problem is the CAPS LOCK KEY.

On Mac keyboards, this is located directly to the right of the A key.
On a Toshiba laptop, you can switch caps lock and Control. With
Windows 95 (and I *think* 98 and NT) you can accomplish the
same thing with any keyboard. And there are similar utilities that
run under straight DOS.

HOWEVER, to the best of my knowledge, this cannot be done when running
DOS or Windows on a Mac -- desktop or laptop. Does anyone know
for certain of a way to accomplish this? If it could be done, I would
be very happy.
