OK, I'll UL the latest version with this packet.  It's not the
prettiest source code that I've ever written, but it works.
Remember, it's mainly a demo of a certain method of text display.

Fair enough, but these are just some keystrokes to make it work.
Also the latest version has simple mouse support.

Speaking of mouse support, what does MsgEd require? Do I have to
support all mouse buttons, or just single & double clicks of the
left mouse button?
