Hi Fred, When I read your post, I thought I should finally release this in-house application that I have been using for years. It is basically a documenting system for Xy keyboard files. It uses the same approach as my Compile utility, but is implemented with good old Clipper compiler. The download package contains a sample .kt file, the EXE application and its source code. The idea is to make editing kdb files easier. You can comment out lines with just a space and the data stays in the kt file. Or you could switch key definitions and try new ones by adding several lines with the same number just by commenting out unwanted lines by spaces. I hope this will be of some use for at least some fellow Xywriters.
