Yes, thank you, for some reason making aliases in the Finder did not do 
the same as ln for some reason. Deleting them and working from your 
suggestion in an earlier post fixed it.

The monospace font problem is gone now, so I can't test it. However, it 
did refuse to operate when I was functioning with dead links in /.fonts 
this morning. I got a similar warning message to the error I posted at 
the start of this thread.

It's a great idea, and I could make use of it. I personally still have 
a desire to stay in Terminal, but for the millions of Mac users out 
there, this will offer a significant boost in public awareness.
