jesse, Even in the text mode, get_mouse() returns are sort of 'pixel' based. Below is a routine from my old ratbag.e (from my old first collection, still available from the Archives, I think), that corrects the anomaly. jiri global function get_text_mouse() -- same as get_mouse(), except it returns column & row of mouse text cursor object me me = machine_func(14,0) if sequence(me) then me[2..3]=me[2..3]/8+1 end if return me end function -- get_text_mouse

DC uses it in EE. However, you all might find that in text-screen modes above 25 lines, the mouse doesn't want to go below line 25... Use confine_mouse() to unconfine it :) . IIRC: vc = video_config() confine_mouse({{1,1},{vc[VC_COLUMNS], vc[VC_ROWS]}) Was something like the syntax I used. It's in my version of DC's toolkit anyway. -- Carl R White -- Final Year Computer Science at the University of Bradford E-mail...: cyrek- at -bigfoot.com -- Remove the hyphens before mailing.

I can't duplicate the error on my machines. Oo-er. Might be a benign screen/mouse driver conflict on my machine then... (Cirrus Logic 543x drivers and MMOUSE.COM, a common 3rd party driver that causes no problems with anything else...) I think I said somewhere that I used confine_mouse() to fix it, anyhow... Don't worry about it :) Carl -- Carl R White -- Final Year Computer Science at the University of Bradford E-mail...: cyrek- at -bigfoot.com -- Remove the hyphens before mailing.
