<DIV> that solves my problem, yes.... i always suspected it would be THAT simple given the brilliantly absolute simplicity of XY...</DIV>
<DIV>A million thanks to Ross Moore.................</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>one more question (again, probably obvious to everybody....)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The curved arrow tips dont get "curved" in the right direction... looks a little bad....</DIV>
<DIV>My solution was to typeset the arrows and their tips separately...</DIV>

<DIV>Have you tried the following ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> **[red]\crv{~*=<2pt>{.}<poslist>}</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>analogous to colouring an <object>:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> *[red]\dir{+}</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> For arrows of course i can use</DIV>
<DIV>> \ar @[red]@[thicker]</DIV>
<DIV>> But that doesnot work for curves :-(</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> i can ofcourse color the whole diagram by wrapping</DIV>
<DIV>> \color{red}{</DIV>
<DIV>> \xy ....</DIV>
<DIV>> ........................</DIV>
<DIV>> \endxy</DIV>
<DIV>> }</DIV>
<DIV>> But that is not what I want.... is there a way to produce</DIV>
<DIV>> individually colored curves.?...what about changing the line</DIV>
<DIV>> thickness?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> **[red][thicker]\crv{<poslist>}</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> Any help will be greatly appreciated....even an one line example</DIV>
