If one's NeWS program expresses interest in mouse tracking events,
and then dies in the middle of them, mouse clicks stop working.

I'd like to thank William Spitzak (William.Spitzak@Eng.Sun.COM) for
pointing out to me that pressing the STOP key (L1) brings the mouse back
to life.  Just don't hold `a' down at the same time :-) :-)

Thanks,


Lee
