I don't have a manual for ResEdit (who does?) but there seems to be two advantages to holding down the option key when opening FONT/NFNT resource lists. 1) When opening the FONT resources the display changes to show the installed size resources in descending order down to and INCLUDING the size 0 resource (which allows you to edit it also). 2) Applies to both FONT and NFNT resources. When you open the FONT or NFNT list WITHOUT the option key and you change the information in a resource's info dialog box, when you close the box you are popped back to the top of the list. When you open the list WITH the option key down, after closing the info dialog box the same resource will be highlight (you stay in the same position in the list). With one down-arrow stroke you're on the next resource ready for command-i (info dialog). Off the subject, would you happen to know where I could find a postscipt code wedge (?) that would help in printing a typeface catalog on the laserwriter? What I would like to do is create the catalog in either Xpress, Word, or ? in one piece, between each page (or font sample) this "wedge" would flush/reset (or whatever) the laserwriter so the next font(s) could be downloaded. Do you know if this is even possible? Jim
