   Hi again Liz & Denn,   
      
   I believe that I have the thing fixed, but before explaining   
   that, allow me to ask what you mean "restores are garbage?"   
      
   I ask because one of the very few computer related things I   
   am disciplined about is the generation of regularly   
   scheduled images, and that is what I used to solve the   
   problem...   
      
   Denn had suggested the possibility of a damaged font, and   
   the easiest way for me to check that was to restore an image   
   of the Windows/Fonts folder that I had from about a month   
   prior to the start of this problem.   
      
   I had the problem in Paradox, shut Paradox down, restored   
   the earlier Fonts folder, re-launched Paradox, and saw that   
   I no longer had the problem I have described...   
      
   Is that the sort of thing you meant when you expressed your   
   concern about "restores?"   
      
   Very sincere thanks to you both for your kind help,   
   --   
   Kenneth
