Something is wrong here. First, there are any number of ways of printing
with Xy and one or more of them have to work. E.g., you can run a routine
(Tim Baehr's) to take Xy text and put it, more or less formatted, into Word
or Wordpad or Notepad or ... and print in it from Windows.
Second, to go to text view, you need only hit a keystroke (whatever key has
the function XP or WG or CM assigned to it. I use ctl-o to toggle, using CM.

Others, including Robert, have reported no problems using 4.018 under XP.
