Has anyone noticed a problem with the environment in that whenever you execute a program and then return to the environment the mouse cursor is not displayed? A refresh of the window does the trick to bring it back, but this is getting to be a real pain. I've used the env on two different machines with two different mice and have gotten the same results. Any ideas/solutions? Thanks, Mike. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Mike Collins | = = New Mexico State University | If only I could afford a = = e-mail: ecollins@nmsu.edu | *real* computer... = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

This is a symptom of a mouse driver that does not support the latest Microsoft standard. At least you don't get random crashes which is another symptom of an old mouse driver. Check with your mouse manufacturer to make sure that you have the latest version of the driver. The most common ones are Logitech which is at 4.10, Microsoft which is at something like 7.3, and Mouse Systems at 6.23. All these numbers are subject to the vagaries of my memory. This is also a symptom of a worse problem -- People asking comp.lang.c++, a general forum about the C++ language, questions that can easily be handled by Borland tech support and are not of particular interest to the C++ community. In my experience, Borland's tech support forum on Compuserve is the best source of information for questions like these. Telephone calls can work too, though a bbs lends itself much better to the gathering and disemination of information like this. -- sidney markowitz <sidney@saturn.ucsc.edu>
