Hi Preston,

Thanks.  Glad you enjoy using it.

I will fix the problem with the use of modifier keys with the mouse
button and popup menus when I can.

Meanwhile, to change the font for an existing frame, execute the
following by typing M-:

  (modify-frame-parameters
    (selected-frame)
    '((font . "-apple-monaco-*-12-*-mac-roman")))

To make the change permanent, put the following line in your ~/.emacs
file (create it if you don't already have one):

  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
               '(font . "-apple-monaco-*-12-*-mac-roman"))

Andrew.
