  The code was written that way to be as completely as possible
  compatible to DOS euphoria so that you could run a DOS Euphoria
  program without breaking or changing the code.
  Linux Euphoria's graphic.e uses gm mouse; try using that in
  graphics mode, in fact try using any of the DOS graphics functions
  in Linux Euphoria's graphic.e they don't exist.
  As you can see that with the library you can write your own code
  using vga graphics with no problems.
  Did you try running Jiri's WIDGETS that were written in DOS ?
  If you look at the routines that I modified in
  the EU_ENGINE's WIDGET directory at widget.e you will see I had
  to modify his mouse routines to run with the library.

  If you rename pget_mouse() to get_mouse() then your get_mouse()
  will just recursively
