What I am doing is to edit a file located in the shared VPC drive, a Windows folder. Then I can have the same text file in Xywrite and a suitable Windows application (e.g. EditPad Lite) at the same time. When I save the file in Xy, it is automatically updated in the Windows application. The other way round you have to use an AB and CA cycle.
