 Xy4 supports the function calls @0-@9 and @A-@Z, the commands
LDPM and STSGT  etc, and (of course) the underlying permanent
S/Gs. Additionally, these operate in II+ (as indeed do the
transient S/Gs 00-99), III, III+, Sig, and  XyWin. Only XyWin,
with its grotesquely crippled keyboard (read kneejerk  adherence
to MS's CUA guidelines), balks at some assignments in the ALT
table. Bottom line: Those "old style" S/Gs are alive and well
and still handy (for direct keyboard execution, or on-the-fly
assignment via the still-wonderful function SV).
