Because of this, Apple finally came out with a cdev called "CloseView." It runs, or should run, I gather, on any system with the new control panel (4.0 and up). The only trouble is that it's more a kludge than anything else, and one must endure a white rectangle that follows the cursor wherever it might go. Even the visually impaired find it a Royal Pain. It is short (only 21K) and comes with the system release 6.0 package. It's free, but it's Apple's, and USENET doesn't have a distribution license. You can get it from a dealer or from wherever system updates are available. --chris Disclaimer: These are only opinions. Confession: ANY attempt at reversing the screen is a kludge until it is put in the "Monitors" cdev and doesn't use alternate buffers, etc. -- J. Chris Cooley | husc6! -\ Computation.
