I'm not exactly sure where to post this, so here goes.

I use various Suns and I've found that running Xwindows, I can TELNET
to the VAX here and run DECwindows MAIL on my X display.  It works
with no problems, but MAIL tries to use some odd fonts that don't
exist here (something by the name of MENU) and the default font is
rather small.  Are there any resources for MAIL to change font and
geometry like there are for Xwindoes programs?  I've looked in the
DECwindows user's guide but it didn't say.

Thanks!!
