Hi Bob,

I was planning a FONT command. It would allow you to select a number of fonts of various sizes and also background colour (0 or 1) and foreground colour (same) and underline and anything else that I can fit in (blinking might be a bit hard).

I believe the larger fonts would be useful to someone building an embedded Maximite project with a small (say 3.5in screen) as they would not be able to read the normal font.

I have not checked how MSBasic did it (perhaps with a COLOUR command) but it would be hard to keep compatible as it did not have selectable fonts.

Also, thanks for the unary negate bug report. I will add it to the list.

Ah, so much to so and so little time !!!
