You might want to try the following short .ex program to see if your mouse pointer starts up right with this. This routine is essentially the same as in my file selector pgm and may help narrow down the source of the problem you are having. After you start this program the pointer should be visible, and should move as you move the mouse. If you click once on the left button some numbers will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. A second click on the left button will end the program. ---------- test.ex ------------- include graphics.e include mouse.e object mouse_return cursor(NO_CURSOR) function mouse() object y mouse_events(LEFT_DOWN) mouse_pointer(1) while 1 do y = get_mouse() if not atom(y) then exit end if end while mouse_pointer(0) return y end function mouse_return = mouse() ? mouse_return mouse_return = mouse() ---------------------------- -- Fred Cole
