When it happens, the garbage is the same garbage in the same place every time, but it is different (and usually absent) in different invocations of dmouse. I suspect it has something to do with morerows, since I am morerowed to the max 232 lines that my monitor can display, and the garbage is always near the very bottom of the screen. The junk did not display on a 200 line screen. 3) Not a bug, but just a strong preference: The window under the mouse pointer is only activated on mouse movements. It would be handier if the window were activated on any keyboard input as well. Okay, I'm used to heliosmouse and that's how that works. But heliosmouse + wKeys is great because you can change windows and screens without reaching for the mouse, and the window under the mouse always comes up active. 4) When I used dmouse -a500 my mouse pointer stayed on the borders all the time! What gives? :-) Heh, heh, now there's room for a mouse even on _my_ desk. After all, with dmouse running, all you need is 3 square inches... And finally...the only good feature of TextCraft (mouse blanking) put into a _real_ program! (I've been trying to figure out a way to do that for quite awhile.) -- ------------ Eric Kennedy ejkst@cisunx.UUCP
