David, I agree with you whole-heartedly: the pause, dialog & choose commands should all have the same font/colour/etc options.
However, that doesn't cover everything. To really make the system look consistent the R:Base messages need to be able to be customised as well. I assume that this is not a straight-forward task, but things like the "do you want to save this row" and similar messages look odd when they appear "as standard" among the customised commands. I suppose something like a suite of "SET" commands, perhaps RB_MESSAGE_FONT_NAME and so on, would be ideal. Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David M.
