Re: Memory problems with XyDOS (4) under Win98?

Once you've created a shortcut that opens in a "normal window," there'll be
a toolbar at the top of the window. One of the buttons on the toolbar has a
big letter A on it. Press the button, and it'll let you change fonts.

The fonts are hard to describe. They're still DOS, pixelly sort of fonts,
but you can get a size and shape that suits you.

It starts with right-clicking on the Win98 desktop, then clicking on NEW,
then SHORTCUT. A dialog box will appear asking for the command line. Mine is
C:\xy\editor. After you do that, you'll have a shortcut. You can even change
the icon. I use the little pencil and paper one.
