I do know it takes time to type a response. But it's not my financial 
concerns that make me impatient. I'm impatient unless I'm doing something 
every moment. My email usually takes 30-60 seconds to download, and waiting 
for it bugs me, so I get up and do something else! But that's just me - and 
a reason why *I* wouldn't spend much time in online conversation (since you 
dislike the word chat - with good reason, I agree).

The documentation for the changes in codes is in bits and pieces here and 
there, but there is a list of the codes that work in NB Win on Rick's 
website - I put it there a couple of years ago.

Almost all code is the same. A few codes were (annoyingly) given new 
meanings, AR among them. It's now AZ (autoreplace). And the OV code that 
was introduced in NB4 no longer works at all. But many programs that used 
OV can be rewritten just by replacing OVxx with XX. For instance, OVdw 
(define word) can be replaced by DW (input with pfunc dw).

At some point I hope to produce a slightly edited version of Tony Woozley's 
xpl guide - NOT an updated version, but one with things removed that worked 
in NB4 and don't in NBWin - and with the codes list added. But time is 
limited, so....

Best wishes
