As I've gotten older and the type on the computer screen has gotten 
smaller.  Really!  It did, the resolution went up and the type seems to 
be defined (along with everything else) in terms of the pixels, so it is 
all very small on my laptop HD resolution screen, even at 17 inches.

So one of my problems using Win32Forth is the small font size.  Is there 
any way to make that larger without mucking with the controls in 
Windows?  I've already changed the overall size setting in Windows and 
it seems some programs aren't affected by this.

Also, in trying to use the in line help I typed 'help ."' into the main 
console while the help window was open and it popped up an error "Read 
error in HelpWrd.hdb at 471964".  Any ideas?
