Herewith results/errors of from the CLIPW debugging check list, this to
trouble-shoot a screen anomaly (second cursor) that appears when I run the
routine. XY (on XP PRO in a VDM W/TAME) runs well in all other respects,
including other U2 routines. (I checked all settings prior to running the
checklist. Details at end of post.)
The items below that produced errors, or revealed settings I missed, are
marked "*****".

***** Had several copies of this file on the drive, including a copy in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. I put one in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. All copies dated
8/4/2004. NB: There is also a copy of a different file -- MSVBVM50.DLL --
in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32.

Okay. Set to "E".
>CLIP.EXE in the *same dir* as Editor
Okay.

>(command "ATTRIB CLIP.TXT" in DOS)
***** CLIP.TXT is always created WITH the *archive* attribute set. (NB:
as is, CLIPwc does not create CLIP.TXT; CLIPwp does. (Please see Step 3 below.)
>C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and Editor's dir are both in the PATH
***** Fixed. C:\Windows\System was NOT in PATH. Added it.
None of the FIXES above cured the anomaly. Continuing the checklist...

Copies text at DOS prompt.

Copies text at DOS prompt.

***** Pastes text (leaves second cursor at spot of insert).

PS: (PRIOR to running down the check list, I disabled ALL settings in
SETTINGS.DFL, a setting at a time, and ran CLIPW after each change; I
started XY with factory-issue keyboard; I disabled the printer file; I ran
REGEDIT/C on XYWWWEB.REG and it passed; all drivers are current.)
