I typically use '.f' for forth source files.  Is that also used for
Fortran?

I'm having some problems getting up the learning curve with SciTE.  Can 
you point me to any teaching materials?  I've found info on the 
properties files, but it is written to explain the commands rather than 
showing how to do various things.  I'm having trouble controlling the 
font used and the mono/proportional flag.  Is there an explanation of 
how this works?  Does setting the monospace feature only display the 
font.monospace for all items while having it off allows multiple type 
faces to be used?  Any idea what the list of type faces is?  I'd like to 
explore alternate monospaced fonts.  Or maybe I'm using tabs incorrectly?
