	Ugg!! Never!  I've used plenty of systems that 'move' the mouse for
you and I would never subject that sort of torture to the Amiga community!
The mouse should be moved by exactly one source ... the user.  I agree that
a fix needs to be made, but not that.

	Ahhh... that's an idea..  Kind of a small special case that might not
be worth the extra line or so of code.
