What's the difference? Either way brings up the same menu. Wait--I'm wrong.
There are three different conditions (amazingly)
  1. Left click on icon on title bar: brings up a two-column dialogue
box, with "Troubleshooting," "Tame setting files," "Color Change," and
several other things.
  2. Right click on title bar: brings up a less complete dialogue box,
and "Color Change" does not do anything.
  3. Right click in text area: brings up the same menu as (2) but now
"Color Change" does bring up its own dialogue box of color settings. But
there doesn't seem to be any effect of using "Color Change"--it lets you
define a custom color, but so what?
After I redefined MD NM to 240 in SETTINGS.DFL, I have a beautiful text
area in Tame-Xy. And for some inexplicable reason, things seem better
behaved after using your batch-file approach to loading Tame for Xy use.
Am I right that, at least when the .PIF launches a .BAT file, the "Fonts"
setting in the .PIF is irrelevant?

Table=CTRLX
36=ll

Pretty simple, eh?!
Thanks, Michael ... I'm getting to like the Tame screen. If only the ctrl-j
repeat thing can be fixed.
