Maybe the hardware doesn't support this, but is there any way to (temporarily) turn off mouse interrupts on the gs, while still letting the cursor move around (maybe checked at every VBL?)? I'm doing some I/O through the serial ports from TML Pascal II, but when the mouse is moved around, the overhead from the interrupt handler causes a few characters to be lost. (I'm just opening .DEV4 as a text file and using readln.) It's somewhat unclear from the Toolbox manuals how SetMouse works, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick, except if I turn the mouse off and then on again, which causes it to jump around. Any way to keep the cursor updated without using interrupts? Henry --- Henry Throop Internet: throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu
