Dear Xyrite mavens: I know how I
currently convert, one file at a time,

Xywrite to Word for use by editors and myself later at other computers: I


type in a macro command (I think it's called) that strips out the
specialized

symbols in Xywrite (the macro command has the instruction lp e-mail.prn,
and

it was prepared for me by an expert, presumably loads in a macro filed
called

"e-mail.prn"). And then I send from my Xywrite directory that
file to

mydocuments folder the file, renamed with .doc suffix. Presto: I have a
Word

document. But how do I do that for hundreds of important files I have on


Xywrite? I'm using Xywrite III+,  the DOS version. But in the new
computers

you buy today, there's no allowance for an MS-DOS program, so how can I


convert hundreds of selected text files to Word and strip out the Xywrite


symbols that make Xywrite files virtually unreadable in Word? I don't
have

much in the way of computer skills myself, so I want to know if there's a


prexisting program out there that does that , or is there a file on a
Xywrite

website that you can download, or what any of you would suggest? Thanks,
Art.
