Re: Help!



I think you didn't see the .EXE (only EDITOR) on your flashdrive merely
because Explorer is set not to show "file extensions."
In general: a) don't worry, XyWrite is very simple and forgiving; you can't
go too far wrong, and b) don't hesitate to ask us on this list about any
problems.

Carl,

You've saved it! My directory even reads EDITOR.EXE again (I assume I should
not be messing with that anymore, right?)

Thank you, thank you!
