	Hi. I have problems...
	I have followed the instuctions to the letter. There is no such
thing as "ST FONT LOADER" under the desk menu after rebooting. (Only the
usual things). I even tried coping the ORIGINAL TOS disk on a new disk,
removing DESK1.ACC & DESK2.ACC, and rebooting with FONTS.ACC as the only
accessory.

	I down loaded FONTS.ACC in the UUCODED form and decoded it from
my ST and I also uudecoded it on the host computer first and then down
loaded (of course this time I used the "image" option for kermit). all
to no avail. I still do not get "ST FONT LOADER" under the desk menu
after rebooting. Has anyone got it to work?
