As a related question, I'm wondering if the new ROMs fix the bug with
the AES call evnt_multi()?  When you call that, it refuses to respond
to a right mouse button event, although the VDI does detect it.  Do
the new ROMs fix this problem?

As a related, related question, how do some programs like EasyDraw work,
in regards to the mouse buttons?  I've noticed that you can make your
menus disappear, and drag the window scrollers with the RIGHT mouse button.
Is this an effect of GDOS, or some fix that is written into the program
itself?

Thank you, everyone, in advance.
