This menu contains functions to change the appearance of directories,
object groups or the Console window. Selecting 'Appearance...' with the 
 Shift  key held down (or if no directory or group window is active), 
opens the Thing font selector with which any desired font can be passed 
to other programs via the Font Protocol. For this a font sample has to be 
Drag&Dropped to a window of the relevant application.
