	Hi, everybody!

	I'm not a good programmer. I should say I'm a beginner.
Therefore, I would appreciate if you could reply with beginner-level
words.
	I have written an X applicetion program which is supposed to
draw an Amplitude vs Frequency diagram. I can write "Frequency" on the
horizontal axis, and I'd like to write "Amplitude" on the vertical
axis. If I want to save space, I should write "Amplitude" vertically.
The fontstruct->direction does not provide this function. Is there
a simple way to rotate a string ?

	Second question : I haven't found any FAQ file related to
PEX. What is PEX ?
	Poor Experience about X (like me) ?
	Prevent Emission of X-ray ?
	Present Exchange for Xmas ?
	Something else ?

	Thanks in advance for your reply !
