True. But I must memorize that .x is a font-change macro. If it were .Ufont bi I am more likely to remember that the font will change to Bold Italic. And it is from the U set. And someday it could take the cbi argument. Constant-Width Bold Italic But I say again, very nice! Welcome to the Macro Writers Guild.
