As I recall, "Real Soon Now" there will be a 3 update that will have
two versions.  One will be the "naughty" (bypass everything) and fast.
The other will be a bit slower but will allow resident programs.

Of course, I could have this info confused with some other product.
However, RAM resident programs and XyWrite still do not work together
for the most part.  One possible (though expensive) way out is to run
XyWrite under Microsoft Windows.  You cannot place XyWRite in a Window.
But you can let it take over the screen when you need it and escape back
to the calculator or whatever when you need it.  Although Windows is cheap
($95 list), the thing that makes it expensive is that you really need
about 1 to 2 megabytes of RAM to make it fly right...todd
