I created a macro that gets called by a Skill program. Attached are the
macros (mm and mils). They should work as standalone, but I haven't tried
them.
They set the first 16 text entries to the default sizes. Please note: the
".scr" extentions have been removed since my emailer thinks they're viruses.
