Jerry that is the approach that I would take if not using IDE. But I don't
see how to do that because IDE expects integers in these things and not
variables I think (or am I just assuming that?).
I can achieve the same as you say if I take the code generated by IDE and
replace all occurrences of x, y, cx, and cy by a scaling in the way you
say and do the fonts at the same time. Only disadvantage is that I cannot
then go back and make changes with IDE any more. So best to do this when I
am really sure that I finished all the fancy screen footwork.

Thanks Jonas - I just finished trying to learn EUwinGUI, window developer,
Win32Lib and IDE - how many more do I need to learn? LOL!
