Fonts can be installed anywhere. The OS/2 installer installs the base
PostScript fonts to \PSFONTS.. The WinOS2 TrueType fonts will be
installed \OS2\SYSTEM\WINOS2. Java installs TrueType fonts the
jre\lib\fonts etc.

There is no fontpallete.exe but then that is true for all WPS objects.
None of them are implemented with EXEs. :-)

>Its Properties don't show an executable.

It shouldn't. It's not a Program Object. It's a Font Pallete object.
Your REXX Reference Summary has a nice chart showing what code implements
which objects.

>(I figured if I found

Not a likely scenario. :-)

>This might be a good topic for this Saturday's meeting.

We have a couple of topics for this Saturday. You need to read up a bit
on the Workplace Shell. The online docs have some info. Your Warp4
toolkit has a lot more, especially about the implementation details which
you are asking about. A Google search for:

Workplace Shell OS/2

show get plenty of hits.
