Is there a way (in 386 enhanced mode) to run applications in a window, and allow said applications to use the mouse? A logical thing would be a PIF property saying that an application takes over the mouse when it's running, but there is no such PIF property that I can find. For example, MicroEmacs uses the mouse, but when I click anywhere within the MicroEmacs window, the title bar changes to "Select Micro Emacs". And while I have your attention, is there a way to have windows remember where you put your folders, instead of placing for you every time (with an algorithm that results in overlapped folder names) ? gracias dale Dale Wyttenbach | ...rutgers!umn-cs!wytten wytten@cs.umn.edu | wytten@umnacvx.bitnet Computer Science Department Systems Staff--University of Minnesota, Minneapolis

I've always wanted this, but it would be necessary to disable the normal Windows mouse operations in the window. It could get very confusing since as soon as the mouse cursor left the window, it popos back into Windows mode. If you really want the mouse, run the application full screen, then you've got no problems (as long as you loaded the mouse driver before Windows). > -- Roger Hadgraft | hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au Lecturer in Civil Engineering | Monash University | phone: +61 3 565 4983 Clayton, Vic. 3168.
