	Try changing the background to "grey".  This is low-intensity
white in the forground. (The upper bit in the forground is intensity,
in the background it is blinking).  Be careful, "gray" (with an A)
is high intensity black... which is defferent from "grey" (with an e)
which is low intensity white.

	Your mouse driver is too old.  Get a newer microsoft or
logitech driver and it will recognize more lines.

	Praise will only go to my head.  Keep it up.
