	READ: 1.2

	B.T.U.  after using an interlace screen for my workbench, I can't
go back to non-interlace (all the text in non-interlace now looks like it's
got a blank scan line inbetween each scan line).  

	I used FontEditor to create a 8x5 (rows x cols) font and 7x7 font
which are quite readable. I haven't been able to create anything readable with
< 7 rows yet.  I guess I should post them.

	In any case, 5bits columnar = 128 columns.  I've found that I would
rather use TOPAZ 8 on my SHELL, and the 8x5 font for displaying reference
material in other windows.
