Hello all!,

	I am using version 2.3 of W.G.J. Langeveld's RexxArpLibrary
to make a very simple notepad type word processor.  In trying to
get it to show different fonts, I am using RexxArpLibrary's
call SetFont command to set the current font.  I am using both
the call Text and call WindowText to output text in a given font,
but they are printing the text I ask them to print in the default
font (topaz).
	
	I do not receive any errors in my code during a trace or 
standard execution.  Here is a rough idea of the order of events in
my program.
 
		call createhost
		call OpenWindow()
		call SetFont(FASTHOST, "courier.font",24) /* Are args correct?*/
		call Text
		call WindowText	/* Thought that I would cover all of
				   the angles with both calls */

    Above I haven't written out arguments for the statements for which
I believe my syntax is correct.  I do question whether or not my 
SetFont() call is correct.  Is there a statement that I should be 
using instead of call Text or call WindowText to output my text in
a different font?

Thanks for your assistance,
Aaron
