This is meant to be a feature, to avoid corrupting a binary file. It assumes that, by writing to a file in hex view, you intend to patch the file rather than edit it as though it were text. A reasonable assumption, I think, for most use cases. > I also didn't have my window width wide enough to view everything > but that's hardly XyScript's problem! Even so, XyScript has a solution: `XSW tog` to toggle full-screen view. Of all the new XSW window-management commands, I'd say it's the most obviously useful. I've assigned it to Alt+W. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
