Looking through the preferences and menu dialogs, I could not find a place to change the icons to have text labels inserted. Working with a 15" monitor is no fun, and trying to click a small button onscreen is even less fun. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you look in the toolbars.cfg file in your profile directory, you'll see the images specified for each button... if you remove the lines that specify images, the bottons will revert to text, but i don't know if you can have both at once. if you only want the buttons to be bigger, just change the size for the toolbar as a whole, i.e

Tool Bar(32,32) {
  Back {
    ID_NAV_BACK
    back
    tool2.bmp[0]
    tool1.bmp[0]
    tool_x.bmp
  }
  etc...

instead of

Tool Bar(16,16) {
  Back {
    ID_NAV_BACK
    back
    tool2.bmp[0]
    tool1.bmp[0]
    tool_x.bmp
  }

you can grab some larger bitmaps on the resources page, too, if you want.

oops... aside from the

 tags not working (if there's a way to use the equivalent of <pre> tags in these forums, somebody, please, let me know!) i also left in the line for tooltip strings, which isn't used in 0.6, and which will probably cause problems... just ignore that line (between 'ID_NAV_BACK' and 'tool2.bmp[0]' ) to avoid confusion.
