I have no problem constructing them the hard part is to do it in an elegant way. I don't really want a round or elipse for the bubble, I'll cary on plotting them, I'm actually going to change them so the current plot routine can do the job, building the bubble out of characters is going to be easier, I'm going to set it up as a ALT, font table, the middle I'm going to setup as a semi transparent box because plotting that many seperate characters isn't going to help things :) Cheers Nigel begin 666 font2.GIF M1TE&.#=A0 '(`+,```!M`/;V]M+2TJVMK8" @&1D9 ```/]V4O^)K4#_DH"_ M_U)24H" @*VMK=+2TO___RP`````0 '(```$_Q `0ZF\U=Z9-]=;!GY5V(68 M9W@I*HTK^[9TC)UW:>K[2-H_H) VJ[F(,6!0*6LZG] HRQ H6 LVZA6+J5ZS M7FYW*]9NDV'Q)+ RJ*E,>+=M13/7='!^_.77_6IK9X!H9'8O;'@898ENAR^, M%&]I?U*6EY@R!@0$%9QMGQ2?$Z&;G:2=IDFE&JHGKJJHH*>Q*J.NH[)3G)V\ MLZFWI<&IL;"YQK3"IQRA+\.ST+K%S[*U)+F9V=I0R-"BRIQ@,03&D"8Y7H3(DF-&E!E)NFPP4J;&CS5E.A12 M,F9,FQ9?_M3)<^=*A J38LI(X23$IBZ#XKQIDP=3$%>=5M Z16O/DA@D0KTY M,:I9LEBY`E7Y(L-7MCZ#@E19%N7:HDJ&*MV;S8 ``6W^!@9,0? $P84!'R9L M>+&(%XU#(/:KF/+@RVTK&+9L&3)A'9U#;Q[]F70"O#KYR-JO:U\N^7QQI+[C%YF@`D=F'_;OPW#R^$C>'/S0UU;_ M#_O--U]>^2$E0H$<$#B%)OE]\*"!_ZDPQ8+R9:CAAAQVZ.&'((8HHH,6`HA@ M@#<0"(-]&)I8'XI-]!=C'%' !V,.O_&V0X[PC>CC0FD(D8@@?2 RB I5%&*( MD46:T620A-0(I29)FO"B!8[@9P`##33 &P5<>AG'EEU^2::8%X:IXX]L+G7/ M0?L\\XT0OASTRIL?$*0..7/^AB<[>G3@%Q:$$?H&`PXTP,"B"PB!J**,.IKH MH@PT&L*C"41ZZ:2:MNEI)K@,$TX&QY"Z#"IZEH/.#>Z\J0]_G00P$'/'D,%% MEG5@H6L2#BA J:]8.8# L,,R$&P#!R2[Z+$,9+IL_Q:<4KKFI]0>U=)4'1F5 M[5M#U4771M_:I=-;XFK"TE998&M*/.WXTDL;7#+@JZ^58LDE`I3BVRB\R%)Z M0+W\-BLPP!/$2VFD/5;[:5EC=826$&Z959,(6C5<55A/_40Q6PV&Q3!=`8@7 M+DS O%NG`9#*R^B^$RB*[Z((+, RR@S\N^@!,F,):::9YMQ&RI3ZK/#04\0F MGFFO&)V$9D>7%A[32:#'F6A.@^%W>=T5O?=XDB$'N$T#0GRE.#"HO*@"^R;!
