Every program I've had with it drove me crazy because invariably my mouse would run out of room, and having to pick it up and put it back down closer to me is bothersome. >2/ How do I bound the mouse to a box xmin-xmax,ymin-ymax ? I imagine it could be done by checking mouse position, and calling initmous if you exceeded the limits, but ther is probably a better way. >3/ What does the GEM function CELLARAY and how do I use it ? I've never seen it used. Apparently, it divides the screen up into rectangles, each of which has an associated color. When a graphic operaion would draw, the color drawn would be the color of the rectangle in which the pixel lies. I wonder if this function takes over the screen, making it difficult to use other colors? To get around that, if needed another virtual workstation could be used, I suppose. > Eric +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Kitakaze Tatsu Raito Neil Gilmore internet:gilmore@macc.wisc.edu | | Jararvellir, MACC, UW-Madison bitnet: gilmore@wiscmac3 | | Middle Kingdom Madison, Wi | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
