I could not locate the edited registry, so I went
through the "original" registry, repeated the entries I had made earlier, and added
my computer's addresses for U2, ZIP and UNZIP, my BOOKMARKS, WINWORLD &
WORDPERFECT, my BROWSERS, , and the suggested DICTIONARY
entries. I have also attached a short file on possible registry additions. These were items that looked as though they might belong in the registry, but items that I could
not understand how to enter.

John,
You can ignore anything in XyWWWEb.reg that refers to OS/2 (I see that you have a query about one of those entries in your possible file). OS/2 is another operating system, originally brought out by IBM; Robert, Carl, and Jordan, to my knowledge, use it or, in Jordan's case eCS, a later incarnation (I kick myself frequently for not having jumped on the bandwagon when it first came out), and those entries are specifically for any users of it.
Robert, am I being officious if I suggest that John use
 regcfg.pm? Maybe his system is still too unstable? (I
LOVE it, because it prevents all the dumb typos I used
to commit, and then have to hunt for and weed out,
everytime I had to edit the Xy registry).

John, it's part of the U2 zipped download, and
will automatically customize your XyWWWEb.reg file. First rename your current XyWWWEb.reg to something else, and copy a clean copy of the original XyWWWEb.reg into the directory with editor.exe in it. Then copy or move the regcfg.pm to that directory, start XyWrite, and on the command line type Run regcfg.pm and hit enter. It will take a while, and (as it warns) some "not founds" are normal, but it saves a lot of trouble.
