   Yes.. the font selection for Message Editor doesn't seem to be changing   
   anymore.  Maybe I have to change the font for another element before that one   
   kicks in.  When I *did* get it to change, I *did* change the font for Message   
   Reader and Quoted text too.  The Banckround colours change instantly though.

   DOHHH!  Thanks.  Works like a charm now.   
      
      
    MF> Hmmmmm, you could have used the "Filearea Management" function for   
    MF> that.   
      
   Nope.  Same Uppercase/lowercase problem as for Arealist.  Everything lowercase   
   (except the descriptions) is ignored.

   Ok I won't.  I'm not likely to need file requests, and I am not likely to   
   point with another system.  I'm interested in just messages most of the time.

   You might certainly be right about Apoint.  The crashes were probably due to   
   my first using it in a Warp3 setup (which had the integrated support for using   
   Windows programs concurrently).  But when it was working, I remember thinking   
   this is the program to pre-package on a floppy and help friends install it on   
   their computers for a climpse of the othernets out there.  The Apoint   
   interface and controls were very nice.   
      
   Dialup was the only option for me at the time.   
      
   Beemail seems to be the only other Win-GUI internet-ready point program   
   available.  But it needs much more pre-configuration than Winpoint.
