Re: changing fonts and sizes II

SHOW-FILE requires a complete filename with extension. Try

S" yourfile.ext" SHOW-FILE

To print, the trick is to set the user variable CURRENT-DC with the
printer's Device Context (DC). This directs all output to the
printer.

I added PrintExample.F to our site at

http://www.logix-controls.com/SwiftForth/PrintExample.htm

Also, FormatText.F has a some minor changes.

Thanks, Mike. SIMPLE and TEST seem to be what I want. I got an error
on
SHOW-FILE.

When I tried printing the screen out, the new characters were
invisible to
the printer, but the regular Forth characters like 'ok' printed.
Printing
out the new kind of text would be my last hurdle, I think. I
appreciate
your work on this. --- Allen
