Hi,

     I am writing a application program in C that uses the mouse,
gadgets, a printer, and the disk drive.  Most of the program 
consists of fixed screens such as graphs or menus.  I currently
have two unrelated problems.  First, if I insert or remove a disk 
while the program is running, it doesn't sound right.  Is there 
something that I must do in my program to use the disk drive?
My second question involves reading the mouse with IDCMP flags.
I am trying to read a users input from a menu that is on the full
screen.  Unless I press the mouse button very slowly, I seem to
get "ahead of it".  In other words, If I press the button fast 
on option number one six times, and then press it on option two, 
the program continues reading the mouse as if I were still 
selecting option number one for two to three more presses.  I 
would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions.

                                                      Thanks, 
                
                                                      Ed Greenwood
