Two solutions :
	1. Use write to import your ASCII files and edit them, and don't
	   convert to write format. This has several advantages besides
	   being able to change the font. You can now search and replace,
	   and edit unlimited size files.
	2. Get a real windows editor, such as Winedit from Wilson Window
	   ware. There's a lot of them, and all of them are pretty similar.
	   There is also a version of uEmacs for windows [sic]. Get a real
	   editor. 

As an aside, I use Microsoft Word for Windows for my editing. Using
style sheets, you can predefine block formating, and with WordBasic,
I've written some macros that automatically close begin end loops,
and the like. I also find that Word has many other features, But
I've yet to find an editor with its power. Not even Brief comes close.
On the other hand, Word is slow, and if you're running some big Wordbasic
progs, like a lint like utility I have written, the seasons seem to move
faster. However, coupled with ATM, the ouput is stunning. Also, with
Word, You can add non-printing notes to your program.

Hope this helps.
