~F8Polygon Killing.

	4.	"ε+"	Fetch 1st polygon of 1stimage of the film.
	5.	"K"	Kill a polygon.
	6.	"."	ring around the polygons of an image.
	7.	"!"	flush node display.

	Given  an image  of  polygons  corresponding to  one  letter,
undesired  polygons can be deleted  by using the "K"  command and the
node link display  commands. To  start, the "ε+"  will intensify  the
first  polygon  of the  image's  polygon  ring;  from there  the  "."
commands  will  intensify  the  next polygon  of  the  ring;  the "K"
command will delete the  presently intensified polygon and  fetch the
next polygon.

	A font  corresponds  to a  film. An  image  corresponds to  a
letter.  After  taking a  series  of iaages,  and  deleting undesired
polygons a font file can be made using:

Making and Outputing a Font File.

	8.	"X"CENTER	Center all the images of the film.
	9.	"Q"		Make font bit rasters.
	10.	"εO"		Output font file.


	The "X"CENTER command is an extend  mode command and requires
both  hitting "X"  and typing  out  the word  "CENTER" followed  by a
carriage return. The "Q" will cause  a bit raster to be made for  the
interior portions  of each image of  the film; if an  image node does
not  have an associate ASCII code then  the user will be requested to
supply one. The "εO" will  ask for a font filename and will  output a
font file in the Stanford Format.

Testing a new Font File.

	11.	.XGP FILE/FONT=NEWFNT.FNT[XGP,BGB]

	The above monitor command will print a FILE with a new font.
The user must specify his PPPN because the default is [XGP,SYS].
