Hi there.
I have a Mac Plus at work (actually, I'm one of the three people left
in the world who still has a Mac XL, too, but that's another story) and I
have a lot of text files I would like to download to it.
My question is: Can I reset the default type face on the Plus for a
MacWrite "text only" file from Geneva to something non-proportional? I
really am not looking forward to going through them all (at least 100),
changing the font to Courier or Monaco or something, and then re-saving
them. I'd just like for it to default to either of those when it gets
opened up initially. I have ResEdit, if I need it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It will be set to 0003 (Geneva). Try SM 984 0004 (Monaco) to get a monospaced font. Any TextOnly documents you subsequently Open will be displayed in monaco font. I am assuming you have Macsbug, but the built-in mini-debugger is good enough for this job. John O'Neill Phone ISD: +61 62 68 8818 Dept.
