How do I use them? Is MGR a realistic ++ set-up to use, or is scren space too limited? ?? Try "font n" where n is 1 through ~12. Check that you have font.prg in your mgr binaries. There're other fonts around. There're also files which define what fonts are available and which ones Mgr has access to. Check in $MGR/fonts (wherever that is on your system). Screen space is restrictive for anything over 12pt size, but then again, I don't have Overscan or Reflex. ++ 2. Do I have to write in C, using the MGR libraries to write an MGR ++ application? In theory, no. The Mgr manual describes the ESC codes that can be used to communicate with Mgr. Personally, I haven't looked very closely into this yet but I managed to use Xlisp to output a few Mgr ESC codes which changed the screen somewhat.
