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

This works fine. 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.

That's odd. 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 :)
