Everybody hold your horses. I seemed to have (unintentionally) started another virus discussion (but I was suckered into it, you see). I like to torture my ST with interesting projects (and isn't this a perfect machine for such a purpose ?). In particular, I was trying to think of a way to write a demo program which, by a simple bit toggle in the executable (once some kind of password is entered), becomes a fully-functional program. Of course an external data file would do as well, but I know how to do that already... Anyway, I have absolutely no interest in viruses, except possibly how to get rid of one once I have it. There. Since I'm posting this, I might as well ask a few more questions. 1) What's the deal with the mouse display ? It seems that when I call graf_mous (or whatever the name of the AES routine is) to turn the mouse on several times, the levels get nested, and the mouse display becomes very queer (i.e. leaves a trace, or sometimes disappears, etc.). Is there a way (short of installing my own mouse handler) to tell on which 'display level' the mouse is, and to set it straight ? 2) In dialog boxes: if there are several editable fields, is there a way to specify in which field the cursor should be ? Is this a random process, or does the cursor default to the top field ? Thanks for your answers in advance. -andrew krzywdzinski (andrew@cs.utk.edu)
