1) On a large screen monitor (Apple's 21" anyway) with the mouse speed spetting at the highest level, I still feel a need for more speed! Any chance of getting a couple higher speed levels added? 2) Also, I would like to be able to permanently modify all of the desktop patterns in the system file, or at least add a few of my own. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1> Get a trackball. 2> In the Control Panel, double-click on an edited pattern to save it in the system. You must choose one to edit first, i.e., just opening it and editing the desktop pattern will not work. First click the arrows and find the desktop pattern again, then edit, then double-click to save it.

The cdev Mouse2 (on local BBSs) accelerates the mouse quite a bit. It was actually too fast for me.

In system 7.0, I added 2 more speeds.
It turned out it wasn't trivial,
but that code needed to be rewritten anyway. :+)

Andrew Welsh, the author of Black Box, has taken the idea behind that and created a small INIT that enables the resume box in nearly every app when a bomb occurs. The INIT is called Bomb Shelter and is available on most information services and probably sumex by now. If not, and because it is small in size, send me mail with a request and I will send it to you. John
