Hmmm. I never noticed this. Give me an example, please, of a character that
doesn't convert correctly. I'd like the code number in ANSI, and the
(incorrect) resulting code number in XyWrite after importing with CLIP, as well
as the number that it *should* be. Note that I have nothing to do with this
character conversion; I'm just calling standard Windows services. But I'll
look into it; maybe we can put something together that will work for you, to
preserve ANSI faithfully. Does it make any difference if your XyWrite code
page is 850 or 437? Are you operating in a Desktop window, or Full screen?

Glad XyShell works for you. There's a lot of programming in U2 that calls
XyShell (and that trend will likely increase).
