Yes, I noticed that in v7.0b NB.DLG when I compared it to DLG for v6.1.1; and I
played with it a bit, but VA$FI/F didn't return anything different than regular
VA$FI. Reason, I guess, was that I wasn't using a "long" filename.
Interesting!

I don't think XyWrite is the least bit unhappy in Windows, it works as well as
it ever did, for me. I'm speaking of Xy4-DOS.

*Please* answer my questions: What operating system you are using? Do you
want a command to put the full (long) filename at current cursor position, yes
or no? If not, then what _do_ you want? There are solutions for your problem.
