OK, still no go.
It may be because I am manually cut-and-pasting the VCLIPNEW.FRM into XYWWWEB.U2. I can't do the Helpkey thing because my assigned Helpkey, CTRL-SHIFT-0, doesn't do anything. And if I try to move Helpkey onto another key, I get my crazy Fn keys quirk (shifting values by +5).
That same Fn shift happens if I use any of the three keyboard assignments in VCLIPNEW.TXT.
And CTRL-V, with any of those assignments, crashes XY and I have to stop VDOS with Task Manager.
Which leads me to believe there is some boobytrap in my XY4-3.KBD file. So here's another possible tactic: Does anyone else have an original, un-tweaked XY4-3.KBD file they could attach and send me? I'm pretty sure I know where my handful of customizations reside, and I could assign a working Helpkey, etc., and take it from there.
Meanwhile--and this is the good news--if I keep those long keyboard assignments from VCLIP that start with NOBXs, CTRL-V still pastes into XY4 from the Windows clipboard. That good behavior continues although I now have VCLIPNEW.FRM cut-and-pasted into XYWWWEB.U2 and the old VCLIP frame deleted.
I do like the way XY4 responds in VDOSXY, and if I really need to, I can cut-and-paste from XY4 to Windows by opening the file in Notepad. That's much better than copying whole files out of virtual XP so Windows could find them.
So I'm staying with VDOS, and I am very glad to have it.

Here's the new, simplified VClip:
http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/vclipnew.zipUnzip it (all files) into the directory with VDOS.EXE. Follow the
instructions in VCLIPNEW.TXT. You can also browse the instructions
here:
http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/vclipnew.txtIt works nicely for me, with vDos running under either 32-bit or
64-bit Windows 7. Here's a silent short showing Copy and Paste in
action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR21cbkkKcYJon P: You'll see that the instructions include two sets of alternate
Copy & Paste KBD assignments, which I hope will address your keyboard
issues.
PS: The new VClip, like the old one, uses NirCmd (included) and
automates the "read from disk approach" that Kari mentioned in his
last post.
