will do, avram. Looks a bit daunting. Guess we might have to suck it up.

I, too, would be interested. I can get XyWrite to open inside a control box, but I cannot get it to expand to fill the screen. I use it now, mainly, to open up legacy files. But, I can also use Notepad for that purpose. (Sigh) I could edit so much more quickly in XyWrite, but I guess this is the price of “progress.” Dudley, if you get any good tips, please share them.

Folks,
Help!!
I'm a journalist who has used Xywrite since the early 1990s and am having major withdrawal pains since not being able to use it on the laptop I use when travelling.
I'm also a tech idiot. But is there any way to convert my old Xywrite program to work on Windows 7? It works on the desktop, which is Windows XP. Or is there any already converted program available for download?
Thanks much,
