applicable. Enter SPACE, a space, followed by a
value 0 through 3.
CommentsFont parameters in Normal and Execute modes do not affect the
fonts that have already been established and saved on a form.
Font commands issued in the Create mode affect only the current
form being created and not any of the fonts on other forms or for
Execute or Normal mode text.
Note The font is activated according to the changed options upon
receipt of the font command.
