Summary: Now I understand


     Of course, how silly of me.  StdTxMeas also affects its parameters numer,
denom and FontInfo.  That's why I can't just return 0 in the case I described.
I was fiddling around with my program when it showed me an insertion point the
size of the Empire state building.
     I kind of feel like I just put on "The Teacher" of Star Trek's "Spock's
Brain" episode.  I'm sure that this feeling of intelligence will fade, just
like it did for Dr. McCoy.
