Steve -

Edition 48 was put together for the CoCoFest.  Since people said it had some
sort of bug in an ANSI routine (it all seems to work to me?), I didn't post it.
But you can if you want.  I'm trying to finish up the next (final?) version
which will have built-in menu support features/etc.

I think we've tracked down the mouse thingie:  it usually happens after hard
disk access... the mouse serial driver gets an overrun error and locks up. 
Once we figured that out, I changed the v48 code in such a way that it
should've fixed the problem, but for some reason it didn't.

Then finally, either Kevin Pease or Carl found out that the *manuals* are wrong
about the way the errors are handled on the chip.  That figures. Anyway, I
believe Pease is testing a version he custom wrote which should get around all
that.  I'll try to get the code from him and make all new modules.

On another topic, I notice that Mike sometimes (usually?) forks processes with
the same main screen type to the same screen as Desktop... on a small screen
they end up overlapping all of Desktop and this is hard to tell (unless you
click on the To-Back window control).  We'll talk this method over.  - kevin
