I've got two long-standing ST-related puzzles.  Maybe you can
help.

	1) Any printer drivers for the Okidata 82-A out there?
		Or can someone suggest a place to search?

	2) (Warp into hacker mode) When using my timer-interrupt
		driven MIDI code, moving the mouse around will
		occasionally provoke a stream of keyclicks.
		They start off slowly and speed up, just as if
		a key were being continuously depressed.  Frankly,
		I'm confused.  The clicks go away if I press a
		a key on the keyboard.  I think I've seen the same
		problem in Degas or Degas Elite.  Any ideas?

The Professional GEM tutorials are hot stuff - thanks very much.
