[comp.soft-sys.andrew] prompt window at the bottom of messages

I think some clarification is in order.  We're talking about the
prompt window at the bottom of the messages set of windows (the
message_DisplayString() window).

In the case in question, the prompt window is using same font as the rest of
the windows (the default),  it's just using a much smaller point size than the
others. Why?

In our .preferences files here, people have "messages.FontSize:16"  for
the Sun hi-res B&W monitors, since the default font size looks too small
on these monitors.   However, the  prompt window doesn't use the
increased
font size, it stays at the default size.  Anyone know how to fix this?
