Subject: Getting help from xysearch,
Icons and short cuts and off topic on zyIndex.
I tried to access xysearch and feel like I am suffering from
dementia. I had a memory that there had been
discussion on starting xywrite from an icon. I had a
recollection that Robert had written clear instructions that worked
beautifully. I went to the web page
http://www.freelists.org/archive/xywrite/ href="
http://www.freelists.org/archive/xywrite/
I tried icon and shortcut but nothing turned up that was relevant to
me.. I think the discussion occurred some years ago. Is there
anyway of accessing those older posts. If not could Robert or Carl
please post the diwcussions on icons and shortcuts again. I am using
windows xp home on one computer and windows xp pro on another.
On entering xywrite from my icon, I enter a window rather than full
screen. I than "alt" enter to get a full screen and from my perspective it
seems to work as well as when the world was in dos. I have no problem
reading the screen and the fonts on the screen seem fine. The only
thing is I always get a horizontal screen across the page which disappears
when I alt W and than hit x key. Since I have no problem with what I
have, and I feel uncomfortable in windows, I am afraid to tinker and ruin what
so far is working.
Also where will I find the conventions for listing key strokes and things
like that.
Off the topic I used to have program called zyindex which made a
concordance of all the wordperfect and xywrite and other text files that were
designated. I could than do a boolen login search win zylab and
would almost instantly find all the references in the files subject to
the concordance. I would love to find an
old working copy of zyindex( my disks no longer work) Would
anyone know where I could find the old dos program
or one that would work like it did. I have no need for
searching graphics, just wordperfect and xywrite and text files.
Thanks for the help.
