Are you maybe thinking of the Drive command, which allows you to specify the current drive and a backup drive? From XY4.HLP: - - - - - d:[,d1:] Drive command Sets the default drive (d is the letter of the drive you are specifying as the default drive) and, optionally, the save drive (d1 is the letter of the save drive). The save drive is where XyWrite stores a backup copy of your file and updates it every time you store or save that file. When you omit a drive (d) in other commands, XyWrite uses the default drive. - - - - - I like Harry's keyboard-file solution better since it allows you to direct the backup save to a particular subdirectory of the backup drive. With the native drive command, your file will be saved to the active directory of drive d1:, whatever that happens to be. If you're running Xy4-DOS + the Jumbo U2 (release 2019-03-03 or later), there is a command called SAA (extended SAve), which SAves your file in the normal way and, optionally, copies it to any number of additional locations: SAA [d:\path1[ d:\path2 [d:\path3 ... ]]]<Helpkey> You can assign the string of d:\paths to user variable "SAA_to" in XYWWWEB.REG: SAA_to=d:\path1 d:\path2 d:\path3 which allows you to issue the simple command SAA<Helpkey>. SAA is nice because the backup copies are saved in the background -- so that specifying a whole string of locations won't hold up your editing in XyWrite. To run SAA, AI3.EXE and COPIES.A3X must be present in the directory with Editor.exe. These files part of U2EXTRAS.ZIP: http://xywrite.org/xywwweb/U2EXTRAS.ZIP -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
