RE: For vDosPlus users: A query, and a new utility (vHandles.bat)



Carl, thanks for all your hard work on this. One slight weirdness on
quits.pm I've noticed, and an unrelated question on another weirdness that's
just manifested.

1. Quits.pm closes xy4 and reopens just fine, but when I have a number of
windows open when I run it, xy4 does not reopen as foreground window. That
is, xy4 is the foreground window when I run quits.pm, but when it reopens I
have to tab through a bunch of windows to get back to xy4. Certainly not a
big deal, just wondering if this is everyone's experience.
2. For some inexplicable reason, the key combo win+F11 is not downsizing the
vdos xy4 window anymore, after having worked for years.  The win key in vdos
now opens the win start menu with one tap, win+F11 is no action at all. Can
still reduce window size using the vdos menu, so the functionality is still
there, but I would like to track down what's going on.
Thanks,
Harry Favor

Thanks, Harry. To enable reopen, you need to insert the Windows command that
you use to start XyWrite in the User Variable, Save/Get 01, on line 26 of
QUITS.PM. CAll QUITS.PM in eXPanded view.
