Matt:
   
   It's seems to me that you have had problems with shared objects

   with wxWindows but didn't ask the users to quit using it.

   Try doing frame buffer coding in Euphoria without access to a mouse.

   Using Euphoria I have graphics working, keyboard working, Fonts,

   Colored Text, and NO MOUSE.  

   I have tried placing gpm code in a shared object but I can't get a

   way to interface to it with Euphoria. A compiled "C" program will

   run the GPM mouse. It seems the only way is to have GPM built into

   Euphoria is the only way I can get access to a mouse.
