I would like to change the font used by Amiga BASIC...
does anyone know how to do this? Also is it possible to change the
color of the text for just one line?

Check out the 'BasicDemos/Library' demo on the Extras disk; it's got an
example of a SetFont library call. Maybe you can get it to work with
another font besides Topaz (I didn't have any luck). There's a brief
discussion of this demo in the Amiga BASIC manual in the Advanced
Topics section (chapter 6).
> Also is it possible to change the color of the text for just one line?
That one I can help you with; here's an example to change the text
color for just one line:
COLOR 3,1 : PRINT "orange text on a white background" : COLOR 1,0
^ ^
| +--- background color
+----- foreground color
where 0, 1, 2, 3 = blue, white, black, orange respectively
This is assuming you're using the default WB 1.3.n colors. Take a look
at the COLOR and PALETTE statement descriptions in the reference
section of the manual.
Hope this helps,
Pete

How about changing the text cursor? Can this be done. The programs I've
written all have a vertical bar for a cursor. I'd like to be able to
change the color and shape.

Invest in the Abacus books on the Amiga Tricks and Tips and the Amiga
Basic inside and out. This has all the routines you need and more.
Also Computes second book of Amiga has quite a few handy routines.
