Hi Hans,

>>>Q3: How can I reduce the font size in my GenGlyphClass, GenTextClass, and
GenValueClass ?<<<
As Nathan said for Glyph and Text. I don't know how to do it for GenValue.
I would not recommend changing the system text in the user's ini file, since
it would change the text on the entire OG. Not a nice thing to do to a user!

>>>Q4: Using (a subclass of) GenInteractionClass as a push button in the
menu bar,<<<
You might just use a GenTrigger for the menu item with a short moniker that
fits the button, and have it open up your dialog box with its own longer
title.

>>>Q6: Is there a way to retrieve the user/owner name of my GEOS from a
program ?<<<
As Nathan guessed, the user's name is stored in the ini as a series of
ASCII digits (null terminated.)

John ;-)
