It might have been a bit painful, but fortunately I made some research 
before. I wrote an example that displays indices and exponents and I 
used a similar technique to patch QuickDraw (it is on the FB^3 CD BTW).
Perhaps, it is harder to achieve the same result with FBII, I can't 
remember, but for sure FB^3 is a giant step forward regarding 
programming ease.
As to step 3, I think it was "Go get a cup of coffee" (or 
exceptionnally a can of beer for Staz)
