I think the screen driver is poking the values directly.

I got a file called new2e80.dvr from the SIMTEL20 archives, and it understands
not to put mousetext on the screen.  I believe it came with the ZCPR3 library 
or BackGrounder II code for the PCPI applicard.

	Does anybody have a fix for Applicard CP/M on the Apple gs to get
rid of "mouse" characters when using inverse video?  

	I tried turning the mouse characters off before booting, using a
C program to 'poke' both the alternate character set switch and the status
byte and embedding control characters to get rid of "mouse" characters in
cursor home-and-clear-screen sequences.  All to no avail.

	Thanks in advance.
