Here's another iteration of the METAPAD frame. Works the same as
before, except this one strips the Ascii-26 end-of-file char from
the DeFined block before displaying it in Metapad. This allows for a
simple Ctrl-A,C in Metapad to select-All and Copy the Xy-DeFined
text to the Windows clipboard.

To recap:
Metapad.exe must be in the directory that contains EDITOR.EXE.
METAPAD launches Metapad, displaying a blank new file
METAPADF opens the current XyWrite file or DeFined block in
Metapad

Note to Jon P: *IF* this frame works in Xy4 running under DOSBox, it
will make it easier to get a DF block from XyWrite into the Windows
clipboard (i.e., easier than opening the entire file in Notepad).

PS: It would be easy enough to adapt this frame to work with any
Windows text editor.
