Terry, the last time I checked there wasn't anything particularly wrong with
Courier, though I would use Courier New because it is the True Type
equivalent. I guess I don't understand what your objection is. Barring a
reasonable objection on your party, I would be tempted to remind you that
"the Customer is always right."
