1. text mode mouse routines
Thanks to all who answered my previous queeries.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
I've been attempting the mouse routines and so far have only managed
to show a mouse pointer while at generatinging ex.err files.
what I'm trying to do is:
wait for a key response with wait_key() and at the same time allow a
left mouse click to be that response:
say if at position(12,25) my screen shows:
A My Mahjongg
and pressing A takes me to play mymah.ex
how do I make the screen area 12, 25 to 35
respond to a left mouse click and have it convert this click to have
the same meaning as pressing A?
thanks for any help you can give me.

Don't use wait_key(). ( machine_func(26,0) )
Use get_key()

-- This routine will scan keyboard and mouse - build upon it
include get.e
include mouse.e
constant ESC = 27
object key, mouse
mouse_pointer(1)
key = -1
while key != ESC do
mouse = get_mouse()
if not atom(mouse) then
position(1,1)
printf(1,"event=%02d x=%03d y=%03d",mouse)
end if
key = get_key()
end while
You can convert the x and y coordinates to row/column by dividing.
