I am writing an app in VB 1.0 which will be an offline mail reader for VM/CMS
(and possibly, eventually, Unix) mail. I have some questions which are not
covered by the VB docs (as far as I've been able to tell). Any answers are
appreciated, though beforehand I will tell you that upgrades are not viable.
Please send replies to my e-mail address (below).

(1) I would like to be able to access the Common Dialogs which are part of
	Windows 3.1; Win31API.TXT and Win30API.TXT are not helpful.

(2) I would like to obtain at runtime a list of installed fonts.

(3) I would like to obtain specific information about one or more of the fonts
	mentioned in (2).

I am grateful for your time and replies. Really-useful-suggestions will get
mentioned in the documentation.
