text rotate patch

[Bailey, Jeffrey C. (MSFC-NNM05AB50C)[RAYTHEON]]

I saw on the web a 'patch' for text rotation.  It has stuff listed 
below.  Being new to the system, I wasn't sure what I needed to do with 
it.  Is it script that I download and run, do I just edit the 
appropriate matlab like m file, or perhaps get the real patch somewhere 
else.

Thanks,
Jeff
