Thanks for the advice.

I think the problem was some sort of corruption of my System file.  The weird
thing is that a backup of my system on my HD seems to have the same problem
too.  I replaced my system and it works OK.  

I didn't add any fonts recently (I actually went into a 'font frenzy' after I
got a new HD; doesn't _everyone_ have a use for 'Isengard' and "Elven'? :->). 
This is the first time I've noticed this prob, but then I haven't tried
changing fonts in awhile.

The only odd software I ran lately was that NeVR init that Rich posted to
Sumex, which substitutes a new WDEF for the regular one.  Could that corrupt
system files? (I wasn't running it when using THINK pascal, and I took it off
after a short while).

As to the second prob, with unit confusion: no regular pattern.  I'll keep an
eye out and if it recurs I'll let you know.  Probably the project itself was
slightly hosed, as you said.



Robert
