Hi Nigel!
  I'm posting this to you since I'm using your MSMOUSE library, but this
  is an open question to anybody who happens to read this..
  I remember seeing somewhere/someplace/sometime about a way, in a
  SCREEN 0 mode text screen, to read the ASCII code of whatever
  character is currently under the standard semi-see-through little box
  type mouse pointer.
  I'd like to have just a simple little SUB, that when called, just
  returns the ASCII code of the character currently under the mouse
  pointer in an integer variable I could work with. This would only need
  work in good ol' standard SCREEN 0...
  I remember seeing something about this a long time ago but can't find
  it. In my case it would be used for simple universal menu's where the
  user could just point to the first highlighted letter in any menu item
  to choose it. No need to standardize the menus themselves that way or
  worry about x,y coordinates and such... Point and click is same as
  typin' a key. It could literally be used to make *all* BBS's menus
  mouse-able, so to speak, if utilized in a terminal program and such.
  I just want to be able to read the character under the pointer.
  I'm hoping this is an easy question. :-)
  Have A Good One!
