I use XyWrite daily -- I couldn't imagine translating patents without
my customized keyboard and automatic-expansion abbreviations.
I'd be happy to try to answer any questions you may have, but you'd
probably get a much more knowledgable response on the XyWrite mailing
list, which is the hangout for some *very* Xy-proficient people. You
can subscribe by sending a single-line email message with the command
"subscribe xywrite [your real name]" to listproc -at- ccat -dot- sas -dot- upenn -dot- edu -dot-
There's also a web page maintained by two Xy-list members that may be
helpful, depending on how much you want to mess with XPL:
