+you will override the menu command and force the atom coordinates 
+to be displayed at 18 points in a bold & italicied Courier font. 
+(See the Tk documentation if this is not clear). The value 20 is a 
+priority, which overrides the priority value of 10 in the
+standard initialization. Here are the options that can be specified:

 It should be noted that the appearance of fonts depends on many factors --
 the fonts installed on your computer, the screen size and resolution and your 
-eyes, so it is wise to experiment with different values in the above 
-examples.
