You are correct that Bruce has not made that change, *yet*. Whether
out of simplicity or weakness, his implementation of the MDI (Multiple
Document Interface) "child" windows, that are "spawned" when you open the
Edit screen, and certain other dialogs, are not resizable, nor can the
font/size be changed. However, one *VERY* simple workaround, for entering
notes, is to use Notepad, Wordpad, MS Word, or any word processor that
you *CAN* adjust to your liking for the composition phase, then
COPY(Ctrl-C) & PASTE(Ctrl-V) into the edit window.
