Excellent. Here are a couple quick comments:
I think fheight is a read-only parameter that reports a property of the
current font. I am surprised if
trying to assign an "fheight=..." does not generate a fail or a runtime
error. Note that when you ask for
a font like "font=typewriter,30" you have asked for a height of 30, but you
may get back a nearest available approximation of that and on a given
platform it might not be height 30. Making fheight an
assignable attribute, instead of a read-only one, might be a reasonable
extension that is the same as
a "font="... assignment that asks for a different height of the current face
and style. But I don't think that's
been done yet.
Also, variable pos in this example presumably holds a string that says
something like "pos=50,50" or whatever.
w2 := Clone(w, "font=typewriter,30")
would be a typical thing I wrote in order to have a persistent separate
window handle to write things
with that font, as opposed to WAttrib(w, "font=typewriter,30") which would
be suitable in some
circumstances.
