So, now, first, I have to debug the XY4.KBD file. What's the best method here?
Think I found the problem. To recap, on an XP laptop with TAME, XY was
coming up in Window 2 [blank] even though STARTUP.INT (see below) was
written to make it come up in Window 1 with a DIR listing.
I discovered that for some reason I had disabled the default key
assignment, 69=NO, [the NUMLOCK KEY] and had replaced it with 69=AS
[Alternate Screen]. (NB: I had copied my W98 setup to XP; TAME exposed the
errant key assignment, as it were.) I have no idea when I reassigned the
key or why, but changing it back to the default 69=NO instantly solved the
problem. Program now comes up in Window 1 (my startup.int is attached) with
a DIR list.
So thank you, Robert, for pointing me in the right direction -- *isolate
the one line [in startup.int], and then the one instruction, that causes
the window toggle.* That word, *toggle*, got me thinking about NUMLOCK, and
then led me to the right spot quickly without having to test every single
key assignment. Your *teaching* took.
Only one anomaly left -- and it's an old one, at least according to
archives. So, just to finish this thread, I'll mention it and the post that
relates to it. On the XP laptop I get an X indicator most of the time in
the command area, to the right of the P-L indicator. This indicates XY is
writing from memory to disk. Here's an old post from RH on this: *Well,
I've been looking at the X since Xy4 was released. It is _not_ the P-L
indicator ("my P-L in the status line now reads X"), nor does it interfere
with the P-L indicator. You're using a swap file, that's all.*

Again, thanks.
