Is there a function to get the length of a string, in screen units, using
the current font.  What we are trying to do is to right justify some text
(Arabic).  We are using Microsoft Basic - but if necessary, we calculate
the lengths in advance and store them with the strings.

Thanks - and please mail replies, since I don't usually receive this group.
