Granted if XY4 solves the reverse printed page problem and
all else fails I will go to XY4. Solving the page order
problem is that crucial to me. But that doesn't mean that I
will somehow avoid all the bugs and bruises we all read
about on the list re XY4 that I don't deal with in XY3.
Whatever bugs there are in 3+ I cannot cite one that hits
me. What is suggested as *the* obvious solution strikes me
as a less than perfect Hobson's choice. I realize life is
full of tradeoffs. I guess I was hoping (still am) that
there's another option.

thanks to everyone for their help.
