Thanks Cal,
A solution to my problem (which I should have remembered), but seems a
little verbose. Perhaps a general set-in or bind-with mezzanine could be
added. (view has number of set- functions for setting word in sub-objects
of a face easier, so a more general one wouldn't go a miss)
Do you think the following change would have value?
If IN could take either word! or a block of words.
we could use
set in aface/font [color size] [200.0.0 12]
as well as the current singular usage
set in aface/font 'color 200.0.0
Cheers,
Allen K
