Xy Manuals Online (Was undocumented define functions)

[Charles Burke chasby@xxxxxxxx]

As another thought, consider what Corel has done with the new WP7 manual -
it's on the same CDROM that the program is supplied on. How about a
"XyWrite Manuals Extravaganza Disk"? I'm sure Walnut Creek would be happy
to produce and sell it. Heck, bump the price up a bit, and TTG could even
include a copy of XyDOS (3 or 4, I don't care), and that'd be additional
(long term) market building.

Any more motions? How about a vote? 

cheers,
