Apologies, I am having difficulties with the font size (win10@4k@200% desktop settings). The font is not large enough for my old eyes and I can only readily make it smaller. A suitable font size is obtained if I change my desktop settings to 2460 x 1440@150%.
Also the VIEW dialogue starts at FONT SIZE 20 but changing this to 28 makes no change to the font other than move the 'tick mark' to FONT SIZE 28, however from this position I can now make the font smaller.
Is there a windows trick I can use to make the font a suitable size for me at 4k? Thanks.

Thank you for the fix, I downloaded your update from Windows store. Two other issues:
1) The font size on HELP>Help Topics> is OK in the left-hand column but very small in the right-hand column.
2) Commands R8 and W8 where is the import/export folder kept in Windows? I have tried R8 c:\users\desktoppc\desktop\new\getkey2.com and get: Error cannot open host file.

Thanks.

Try reinstalling; I just released a new version:
1) Fixes font size for all of the help window
2) In settings, show the path to the sandbox that W8 will write to.
The app is sandboxed meaning it can only access its own data
directory. The path in settings should show where W8 dropped your
file.

Please try this and let me know if it your happy
