I just wondered if you'd worked out a way to pop it up in italic? I
started playing with it last night (should have gone to bed, I was
winning up till then) and just couldn't crack it. (I've a Squeaking
suspicion that I'm missing something very obvious.) But that addition
would provide a working example of just about all the protocols anyone
is likely to need from a text morph.
