When the Macintosh first came out, I remember reading that one of the
explicitly-mentioned examples of the advantages of Resources was supposedly
that you could set the application font to be whatever you want.  Now that
the Resource Editor has finally appeared, can this be done?  If so, how?  I
would much prefer "New York" as the application font (and in fact it's my
understanding that it WAS the application font until shortly before the
system was released), since it is considerably more aesthetically pleasing
than the present one.
