I might add that XyWrite DOS looks as good on my 1024x768 ThinkPad screen as
it has with any earlier system I've had, and at least as good as any Windows
program.

I'm running Win2K. XyDOS is in a "DOS box" that is sized to reveal the icons
along the two sides and top of my Windows desktop (which is where I keep the
important icons). That arrangement make XyDOS feel more integrated into the
ordinary way I do things in Windows. Of course I am using "Tame" to speed up
response in the box, a 50-line screen and a special 10x13 font. Yes, the
mouse works. And for some reason I've taken to editing with black letters on
a bright yellow background... must be the medication. ;-)
