Hi Michael,

If you right-click in the MODIFY COMMAND window, you can access the Fonts and sizes via the Properties selection on the shortcut. This may not be so good, though, because it exposes other options that you may not want the users to have.

OTOH, why not just run notepad to edit text files? You can do that easily with:

RUN /N notepad myfile.txt

Just bear in mind that if this is a new file, use STRTOFILE(" ","myfile.txt") first to short-circuit the Notepad dialog asking if you want to create a new file.
