If you're on Windoze, you can use ResourceHacker to change the size (and 
other properties) of FM's dialog boxes. I was SO grateful when someone 
else pointed out this little utility; 10 minutes after downloading it, I 
had a marker dialog box with a decent width and a font size that was 
actually READABLE!

(The file you want to 1) BACKUP and 2) play around with is fmdlg.dll in 
the fminit folder.)

Amen.
