on my wife's pc which has the same hardware as mine and only differs in
that her pc has windows 2000 rather than xp, I start xywrite by going to the dos
prompt icon which is located in the quick start tray immediately to the right of
the start button. Once at a dos prompt, i start xywrite by a bat
file. The bat file is
c:
cd\xy4
editor/e8000
I follow the same proceedure on both hers and mine to start xywrite
On her pc as on mine, I have the same problem. Most of the time when
I leave xywrite the window which had the dos prompt from which I started to use
xywrite, freezes. The whole pc is not froozen, just the window.
Usually I am able to simply alt tab and close the window. the reason it is
annoying is that usually after I leave xywrite it is to go either to word for
word or wordperfect. All my other dos prgrams are also started with a bat
file. I do not have the same problem when leaving wordperfect or word for
word or jcal.
any suggestions or advice .

since my computer died and my new one is still on order I cannot respond
about properties until it arrives. I had been going to the dos
prompt through an icon in the quick start tray next to the start
bottom.
I note that I am having the same problem on my wife's pc which
was the same as my old one that died except that it had win2000 instead of xp,
I am wondering whether the freezing on exit is a function of hardware
rather than software.
Thanks for the interest and advice which I followed on ordering my new pc
and I did drop the idea of dual booting. It is ironic that after all
that discussion on dual booting I was told by the distributor that his version
of Lindows does not work in dual booting mode.
any thoughts on using a win98 dos prompt boot disk when you want a
session when you are just working in dos and have no need for windows apps and
just want to work in dos without any problems.
