No, I just tried non-Tame Xy on my Win 7 32 bit and the cursor movement is still a little jerky for keys 75 and 77 (but, strangely, not for the same CL and CR assigned to 101 and 103).


The 100% CPU usage problem, however, doesn't exist for Win 7 32.

I would add that Tame, which can be a headache, gives you a much more beautiful display, including real bold, italics, strikethrough, and underline. On which, see:

That shows a 43-row version. You can also drag the window to change its width and/or height.

Hi Lynn, it's been so long since I used Tame that I now forget what we used it for? I haven't used it at least since Vista in 2007. Maybe I'm missing something? Maybe something could be better? At any rate, I can't remember XyWrite being anything except plug and play since the Vista days.

Bill,

Are you also using Tame? Or does Xywrite work perfectly well in this set up without Tame? I've never used Win 2k. I went from Win98 to Win XP -- and I seem to remember that I first needed Tame to get Xywrite to work properly on an XP machine.
