Phil, Jim, Mark, Stu, et al,

Thanks for the great input. Jim, you as always have a different spin on things
and it is appreciated and certainly an approach worth considering - despite
your last "wonderment".

Now, I have to decide what to do. The problem with something like this is that
it starts out "small" and "only" becomes a problem much later, when you
realize that you didn't start off with a definite "plan", but did things kind
of "helter-skelter". My particular reason for using PICTs, in addition to the
fact that they use less memory, was that the Larger Font sizes are "just
better looking". Use bitmaps and you loose all of the "smoothness" of
truetype. Actually, I guess I don't mind if someone's system defaults to
Geneva, if it would just DEFAULT in "all instances" within each Dialog. In
reality, that was my "real" concern.

Nuff said, Thanks again,

Joe Wilkins
