@Carl Love I appreciate all your help! Thanks.

@Carl Love 

Great! Thanks.

@C_R and @Carl Love thanks for the replies. I tried changing the resolution on my computer, but unlike C_R's results on Microsoft, that made no difference to the fonts in the plots

>I think that the OP's problem is only that the fonts in the plots appear too small.

Yes, this is correct.

@dharr , @Joe Riel

Thanks so much---yes using the full pathname worked just fine:

VLAlibpath := "/Users/greenwaldsj/VLA/library/":

where greenwaldsj is my user home directory name

Appreciate the help!
