actually, looking a little closer i notice that the fonts are
handled by wsfontload and the screens by wsconscfg, which are
separate programs.  it seems silly to have wsconscfg to both,
as i previously proposed.

so, perhaps a shell script front end that calls the right
commands, using the same configuration file *is* the best idea.


ok, here they are (sans man page).  i have not greatly tested
this, but it passed a few small runs i made.
