You're both forgetting about the PRinter file. It's a prime
repository of default settings in III, IV and every other version of
XyWrite. SETTINGS.DFL is itself a PRinter file, as the ;PR;
identifier at the top shows. You can create a SETTINGS.DFL in Xy3
as well -- just make sure that it's loaded, sequentially, AFTER the
regular printer file, so that any inconsistent settings in the
printer file are overridden by SETTINGS.DFL. (This isn't an issue
in Xy4, as v4 printer files shouldn't contain any settings that
overlap with SETTINGS.DFL.)
