-> I'm trying to find a "perfect" - OK, better - combination of Xy
-> versions and pieces (ver. 4.012, 4.018, and Jumbo U2) in the
-> same machine with win98se.

Why on earth would you keep the ancient v4.012 if you have v4.018?
Or do you mean v4.12, the latest version of XyWin?

As for "Please load a dialog box (DLG) file", it means that XyWrite
can't find a .DLG Help file (XY4.DLG or, in XyWin, XWDLG.DLG),
probably because it's not being loaded on startup. Check your
STARTUP.INT (in XyWin, XWSTART.INT), and make sure that it has the
necessary LOAD statement:

BX load xy4.mnu+xy4.dlgQ2 ;*; <== Xy4
BX load xwmenu.mnu+xwdlg.dlgQ2 ;*; <== XyWin

Make sure that these files are present in the main program
directories for Xy4 and XyWin; if they're located elsewehre, include
the paths in the LOAD command. As for XYWWWEB.U2 and XYWWWEB.INF,
copy them to either your Xy4 or your XyWin directory (no need to
maintain duplicates for each program). Make sure that your LOAD
statements in STARTUP.INT and XWSTART.INT actually point to the U2
file. For example, if your Xy4 directory is D:\XY and your XyWin
directory is D:\XW, and you place the U2 file in D:\XY, then the
statement in STARTUP.INT can be

BX load xywwweb.u2Q2 ;*; <== Xy4
or
BX load d:\xy\xywwweb.u2Q2 ;*; <== Xy4

whereas in XyWin it HAS to be:

BX load d:\xy\xywwweb.u2Q2 ;*; <== XyWin

Also, make sure that the path to XYWWWEB.INF is *hard-coded* in the
first User Variable in frame {{5Help,Link}}, like this:

;*;

Write me privately if you need help to do that.

If you're launching XyWrite from a Windows shortcut, make sure that
the working directory specified in Properties is the main XyWrite
program directory.
