Do you not want to just set $font globally? If it is indeed an rc script,
perhaps you could simply modify the shell script to test for an additional
argument, like -f <fontfile>?

Perhaps something like:

	if (~ $2 '-f' && ~ $3 *.font) {
		font=$3
	
		wloc=$1
		shift 3
		*=($wloc $*)
	}

At the beginning?  Not knowing what the script looks like, I'm just
guessing...


Jim
