	To my knowledge, (and please correct me if I am wrong, Rich) LSC uses
the Global Application Font.  If you want this changed you can pick any of the
INIT's, cdev's etc. that allow this to be changed and do so.  The other option
is just to manually select a new font every time you create a new window. A bit
of a hassle, I admit, but I do it all the time so I can use ProFont which is an
excellent font for coding in.

	The problem is a bug in ResEdit 1.1b3 (that one that was distributed
with MPW 2.0).  The most recent version 1.2d0 (which comes with MPW 2.02 and is
on GEnie, CIS, etc.) fixes this bug and adds some new features as well.

>Also, is there an easy way to generate color incons and cursors?
	To my knowledge, no one has of yet come out with a Color Icon or Color
Cursor editor.  Looks like you have to create one by hand using the info in IMV.

>Hierarchical menus?
	HMenus are easy. See the Menu Manager chapter of IMV for details.
