FL (FONT_LOAD) *DM* -- Load a font for use in pads.
usage: fl pathname


FORMAT

  FL pathname


  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.
