There is a program on one of the Fish disks called Record-Replay (I think).
'Fraid I don't remember which Fish disk offhand.  My first guess would be
in the upper 200's, but...

It actually records the mouse movements and menu selections (and keystrokes?)
of any program you ran.  It could then repeat those events for playback,
such as showing a demo.

When I get a chance, I'll check on that for you, and let you know the disk
number, the name (in case I mis-remembered) and if there was source, too.
