Kerns the selected text by the specified amount.

Command constructor

PKernText(short nAmount);
Amount to kern, in thousandths of an em (1.125 = 1125). A negative value kerns the letters closer together.
Select text with PTextSelect command or text tool. To use this command, you must select the text (two or more characters) with the PTextSelect command (or the text tool). If no text is selected, PageMaker kerns the two letters on either side of the insertion point.

Example. The following example kerns the selected text five hundredths (0.05) of an em closer together.
