      Well, I did finally figure the easy way to change the   
   font in NewView, I just dragged the font I wanted onto a   
   NewView window.  {:-)   
      
      The dialogues I would like bigger fonts on are very   
   common in PMView.  I can change the font by dragging on   
   a new one, but the change is not persistent.

      That is what I am afraid of.

      I wish I could just easily change all the small fonts   
   in the the INI files.   
      
   thanks for your help,
