Thank you Michael

With my Windows set to the high resolution (4k-ish), and current monitor, there is too much eye strain for numerous programs, not just MOI. So I should get a larger monitor.

Using a larger font for the Alert box is probably going in the wrong direction? The LogSpiral8 script is used as an example.
In the upper right corner, a blue question mark will pop up an overly large Alert box, with written documentation. Perhaps melding the blue question mark, with the blue flask technique, might be good.
The blue question mark would be set up to link to a more extensive documentation page, for that particular script. The documentation could be similar to the API ref, or have more graphics? The format would be... ?

Hi Brian,

re:

Is the rest of the MOI UI ok for you by increasing Options > UI size?

I'lll see if I can adjust moi.ui.alert() to use that as well.

Well, either HTML or PDF are good since they're cross platform.

If you call moi.filesystem.shellExecute( 'path_to_docs.htm' ); then that will display the doc file in the system's web browser or PDF viewer.

Thank you Michael.

I bumped Options > UI size from 10 to 11, which is helpful.
The Alert box size does not seem to change.

Hi Brian, I've got a fix for the next beta so the alert box will use the UI font size.
