Thank you, Lisa! I don't know which keys you were
using, and NumLock didn't do a thing for me, but I
started testing keys and found that the arrow keys
(up, down) worked for me where Tab used to.

The larger question--and I'm not even sure what to
search in the archive to yield this answer, so forgive
me if this is redundant--is how to make XY4 work as
fast under XP at 1.6 Ghz as it did a decade ago on
Win95 at 75 Mhz. I know it's no longer running on a
DOS kernel but on a Telnet or graphics DOS emulator,
but is there any way to get it not to pause for those
annoying milliseconds? Win98 compatibility mode has
made no difference.

If there's a link to a thread with workarounds, I
would appreciate it.
