This question should take a few of you back a bit in time. I have recently
taken out and dusted off my copy of Deskmake 3, and put it on a real disk with
Vdgint, etc. It's not very sophisticated in some ways, but is perfectly suited
to the needs of a beginner who uses my CoCo 3 from time to time.

Now, for reasons unknown, the mouse/joystick will not move the pointer all the
way to the right side, nor to the bottom, of the screen. Normally this is not
too much of a problem, but with PAINT it seriously limits the type of drawing
you can do. I checked the joystick and it indeed covers the normal 0-63 range
horizontally and vertically just fine. Has anyone run into this and found a
solution?

Secondly, what in Deskmate 3 binds it to /term? It won't run from another VDG
screen. Not a serious problem, but I do like to use it concurrently with other
tasks and prefer to come up in 80 column mode.

Finally, why do most of the modules show up as non-shr in an ident? Does this
really mean that they are not reentrant, ie. I can't run two Deskmates at once
(provided that they could work from other than /term, of course)?
