That's a very fine start and I am sure it will get developed further by the python types.

1. I am sure there is a python equivalent of 'set paragraph mode' to '\n\n'
2. It could lend itself to a gui that allows selection of
   a. position
   b. font 

Anyway as it is, it is perfectably usable, thank you.
