I have received several replys to this problem but haven't had a chance to
try them yet. I will post what works when I get that chance.

I tried this but the font didn't change. I think, however, the problem is
mine because I pass to TextFont what I get from LoWord. Probably wrong.

I can't agree with you more. I feel I'm a fairly accomplished programmer
(6+ years professionally on mainframes to micros) but I haven't been more
frustrated than trying to figure out these two seemingly simple procedures.

Another problem I have is the hundreds of dollars you have to spend just
accumulating the necessary documentation (Apple and other publishers) so
you can write the simplist of applications.

BTW, I just ordered the looseleaf edition of Inside Macintosh vI - V
because the IM's I was using were borrowed. The price tag: $130. (from APDA)
