Hello! I have some problems with the mouse pointer on the st screen. In a shell i use graf_mouse(M_ON) / graf_mouse(M_OFF) to switch the mouse on and off. But some programs are disturbing this scheme. After a run of such a program the mouse pointer remains hidden. I've also tried to use the line-A functions showmouse() / hidemouse() and the VDI-functions v_show_mouse() / v_hide_mouse() in various combinations, but then i got damaged menus. It seems that the mouse pointer is on, but the AES (especially the menu-manager) does not know about it. Since GEM-Desktop has no such problems, there must be a way to turn on the mouse in the "right way". My question: has someone solved this problem ??? - Edgar
