Hmm and hmm . . . Seems to me that one trouble I had with it dealt with wildcard
search and replaces, but I can't remember the specific details any more. Went back
to BC/XC though and the thing ran just fine. What's the difference? The simple fact
is there are some things that BX Q2 won't do, and since it won't, why bother? I'm
not employed to demonstrate my knowledge of every arcane feature of XyWrite but to
do my job efficiently. BC/XC works fine. It ain't broke, and I ain't fixin' it.

Like Brother Binswanger, I have a life to live.

Hold on there, pard! I'm calling the Guiness Book of Records right now. ;-)
