17" monitor ($189)

Opened up an xterm session; <CTRL><non-dominant mouse button click> 
brings up menu with Preferences (also available from Settings menu in 
xterm window). No "huge" option for font provided; in gnome-terminal 
window, "General" tab shows font selection. In selecting font sizes up 
to 54 point (for avant-garde, or 16 point (for clean), then Apply, then 
OK, no change is effected to displayed font in xterm window. So, using 
PINE on 17 inch monitor, with Red Hat 7.3, I now have the two army 
sizes for the displayed text; too big and too small.
