Re: My Windows 11 tribulations or how I spent my summer

Carl,
That's fascinating (about using WinRun to do Xy commands). I have to 
look more into it, and assign an autohotkey keystroke to invoke it. 
I'll use the same one I use in Xy (^k).
"Pack rat" was what they called it a dozen years ago (or more) when I 
began on Dropbox. They have a new name now but I think the same 
possibility. When on the dropbox.com site, you find the current file, 
then go to the hamburger lines and "history" or "revisions" comes up 
and you can scroll back through the days, months, years.

Indispensable for us XPLians.

Best,
Harry
