Thanks for the correction, Robert.

Yes, that's an idea I would applaud. Changing the system's text size did 
not change much text in Home.mc, MetaCardMenuBar.mc etc. Only text on the 
uppermost line with the close box became bigger, otherwise the text remains 
as small and illegible as before (at least for my old eyes).
