I called Apple Customer Relations yesterday, after work, and told them about
this double clicking problem.  The young lady whom I spoke with relayed the
question to someone else.  I was told that the problem may lie in the fact that
the SE has a different mouse click timing protocol (or something) that may be 
incompatible with Sir Tech's "Wizardry," and Mark of the Unicorn's "Composer,"
software since these were written for the earlier Mac Plus and 512K.

I have since left a message about the problem with Sir Tech, and spoken with
one of the developers at MOTU.  Sir Tech said they'd pass along the info to
their programmer, and MOTU said that they've run into the same problem (now
that they have an SE to test on).  MOTU will have a fix for this probably two
releases from now.

If Apple's assesment of this problem is correct, then it would behoove all
of us new SE owners to watch out for such problems, and notify the software
manufacturers directly, as soon as we find bugs.  This will benefit us, the
users, with possibly swifter (cleaner?) upgrades.  Apple and the software
makers also will benefit by getting closer to their patrons and building up a
better rapport all around.

I'll be sure to let you all know of any further developments, and would
still appreciate any other insights you may wish to offer on this mouse
issue.
