That made me rediscover a flaw in the design: changing the
font size changes it for all instances of the shell (and also
all instances of 4OS2) rather than for just one application.

I should look into where the font size is saved to. It might be
saved in the extended attributes of the shell. If so, there could
be a way to add the relevant information to the extended attributes
of one program object, without affecting the global command shell
font.

It is saved in the USER INI file, as a two-byte character value
(first byte is VIO cell size cols, second is rows) of the 'Shield'
application. The name of the key under which this value is stored is
 language-dependent, and it starts with or at least has a tilde (~)
character in it. I just set it on a VM and it seems to be '~Font
Size...' in English ArcaOS.

Thanks. That means I can't change it for one program without changing it
for all command-line applications.

Well, OK, I guess I could write a wrapper script that temporarily
changed the setting. I'll give that some thought.
