  Dan, I use XY4 with Yarn, but the e-mail part of xplns.zip
doesn't work right, at least for me. Maybe it could be modified,
but I just manually enter a hard carriage return at the end of
each line about at 7". I tried printing to file, etc., but that
doesn't work right with
Yarn either. I even had it set up at one point to automagically
print to a file, etc. for Yarn, but Yarn needs to put in a line
of text that says "Lines: whatever" and then a blank line, and
things get weird. But it's still well worthwhile using Yarn and
XY.
  The routine in Nathan's XPLNS.ZIP is for putting XY text into
e-mail as an individually uploaded message, I think, as best I
can remember, anyway, it doesn't work with mail packets.
