   Hello Martin!

   Why not just start with the same settings you have in Winpoint?  But, as I   
   describe below, you may need to apply the same settings in each "view"   
   window.  For starters, I just changed the font and size to match what I have   
   in Winpoint.   I haven't played with the colours.  I think that would drive me   
   crazy if a colour combination didn't look right.  A simple white background is   
   easiest on the eyes.     
      
   I see that Apoint allows different font/view settings for each break-out   
   screen.  I don't necessary like the idea of completely separate windows for   
   each (that is, one for the AREA that you are reading, another for the actual   
   message you are reading, and yet another for editing the message).  But I can   
   appreciate the design.  It certainly takes advantage of "windows" in Windows!    
   If I had a larger screen, I'd spread them apart so they don't overlap as much   
   as they do on my modest 1400x1050 14" screen laptop.  But, like anything else,   
   I can get used to it.
