RE: Using styles

["Daskin, Alan" Alan.Daskin@xxxxxxxx]

Thanks to Leslie Bialler for the quick reply, but perhaps I wasn't clear: I
have defined all styles (including modes) in definitions using ≪SS foo,
.....≫, etc. at the top of the file. When I then type "US foo" on the command
line to invoke the style, sometimes it works fine (changing the mode to
underline, for example, if that's part of the style) - and sometimes Xywrite
adds both ≪MDUL≫, if that's part of the style, and ≪MDNM≫ after
≪MDUL≫.

	You're not doing anything wrong. That's the way it works, believe it
or
	not! If you don't want to work in expanded mode, then define the
	specific mode you want in your SS command.

	
≪SSFOO,ip=5,0,uf=cgtimes,md=nm,lm=10,rm=70≫≪SSBAR,ip=10,10,uf=cgomega,md=
bo,lm=20,rm=60≫

	Or, if you don't want to bother with that, an XPL macro might help.
Viz:

	xp gt ≪USFOO≫ wg

	Save it as, say, foo.xpl. This is a good one to map to an
altkeys.sav,
	or hardwire to your kbd file.

	00=xp,gt,≪,u,s, ,f,o,o,>,>,wg

	where 00 should be set equal to the scancode and keyboard table of
your
	choice.

	Cheers!
