carl, I'm attaching the two files you requested.
just to reprise my situation: I have installed xywrite from kari eveli's site (also have notified him of this), and when I click the installed shortcut on my desktop, the familiar xy screen/command line comes up. and as it does, it appears to be running startup.int, loading my custom keyboard. BUT when I try any command from the command line, the whole show freezes.
BUT IF i first type run startup.int or even ldkbd ibmb.kbd (my custom keyboard), it runs these from the xy4 folder in which I work, and all's well. most curious.
as startup.int runs, it always shows a few glitches, but they don't matter...like keyboard doesn't accept..... but no problem.
so files below:
