Thanks to Anthony Howe for his fine example of right button processing.
I wish that more examples of tricky ST programming would be posted
on this newsgroup.

In particular, I would like to hear from other people who have tried
the 'vdit' program posted awhile ago. 'vdit' was an example in loading
GDOS fonts, but it didn't appear to work. I would like to write a small
utility to print out a sample of each GDOS font in your collection.
So, I need to be able to load and unload GDOS fonts (both screen and
printer) and then dump a sample to the printer.

Any ideas out there??
