Good Sunday Morning John,

Go to Contol Panel > Display Properties > Settings (Tab) > Advanced (Button)
> General (Tab) > Display Font Sizes (Drop Down List > Select ' Small, Large
or Other '.

To get started, I suggest selecting ' Large Fonts ' for your screen size and
desired resolution (800x600).  That'll likely do the trick for you.  You'll
need to reboot for the font size changes to be implemented.

If perchance you're not satifisfied with the new font size, repeat the
procedure choosing ' Other ' as your new font size.  This option allows you
to cutomize the font size to suit your tastes.  There are occasionally some
limitations in selecting a custom font size in this manner, but that's not
really to worry about here.

Hope this helps.  Please let the mailing list know how you make out.
