Whatever you like.

Well, I'm stumped -- stabbing in the dark, blindly trying to figure out what's
going on with your system. Nobody has reported this sort of behavior before.

I'm gonna suggest something really radical here: that you simply debug the
code! Then we'll ALL know the answer directly. Good idea? I never cease to
wonder why nobody seems to have the least interest in coming to grips with this
very SIMPLE scripting language. That's the elephant in the room, every day. I
can't even figure out why anybody would want to *use* XyWrite without access to
the customization potential of XPL! Just can't fathom it.

So here's my suggestion:  CAll U2, find frame ClipW*, go down to where it says
"«GT11»«PRPasting (be patient!)»", and insert -- before the «GT11» -- 
func "FF DO «PRHere!»«EX1»", then "LOADHELP«Helpkey»" (just copy the functions 
from elsewhere if you don't know how to make them, with the PFUN command).  
Try to Paste.  Do you still see "Here!" on the PRompt line?  If so, move 
"FF DO «PRHere!»«EX1»" to the hind side of «GT11», "LH«helpkey»", and try 
to Paste again.  Do you still see the "Here!" prompt?  Then move this block 
down to just before "JM 2.ScrnRestQ2 ", and try again ("LH«Helpkey»", then 
Paste).  Keep moving this block toward the end of the frame, until the frame 
crashes.  That's where your problem is.

This sort of self-help is the surest, fastest way to a real solution. If it
isn't an AWAITFILE problem, then maybe its a SCRNRESTore problem... How many
lines of text does your screen display? Do you work fullscreen or in a Desktop
window?
