Kevin,

I got DESK3.SCR from lib 10 and it worked out just fine. Thanks for the tip.
One odd thing, though. The hires mouse works now, but unlike its very smooth
movement with MultiVue, with Deskmate the movement is jerky and erratic and
difficult to control. Any idea why there shoul be that difference?

Come to think of it, just where is the driver for the hires mouse? I have no
idea how it works, though I suspect there is a digital ramp generator
controlled by software somewhere; 8 bits, I would guess. Given OS9's modularity
I would have expected a device driver and descriptor for the mouse, but that
isn't the case, so where does it hide?

Ian
