Actually, I just found out recently that the OpenLibrary call can take a path
name, if that is the case, all we need to do is change the OpenDiskFont call
to do the same thing, then you can have the program look in specific areas,
like on our Shakespeare program, it looks for all support files in the
CurrentDir, then the directory it was started from, and lastly in the logical
volume Shake:  So there is just about no way to hide the support files, but,
you still have to do an Assign Fonts: Shake:Fonts, to get our fonts....
