FL (FONT_LOAD) -- Load a font for use in pads.
usage:  fl pathname [-i]


FORMAT

  FL pathname [-I]


  The FL command loads a font for use in subsequent pads.  Note that fonts apply
  to  pads,  not  windows,  so  any new window opened to an old pad uses the old
  font.

  You can load up to 50 fonts.  The DM keeps track of fonts  loaded  by  the  FL
  command or programs.  It unloads fonts on a least-recently-used basis.

  If you need to unload a font (to edit it with EDFONT for example), issue an FL
  command for another font, and close all the windows using the font you wish to
  unload.   If a program loaded the font, stop the program (issue an end-of-file
  -- usually CTRL/Z), and close the window.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)         Specify name of file containing font to  be  loaded.    The
                     given  pathname is first looked up directly, using the user
                     working and naming directory rules.  If not  found,  it  is
                     looked up in the directory /SYS/DM/FONTS.


OPTIONS

  -I                 Specify that the font to be loaded is an icon font.
