If you haven't setup Dmouse 1.20 and the DLineArt screen blanker, go do it
now! Fun stuff!

Steve, you really ought to see your lineart run on a 68020, it goes nuts!
The Elipse moves along at a moderate pace, but the others are hyperactive.
You could really get a case of nerves watching the stuff jump around on the
screen! :-) Fortunatly the -n option makes things move much more
tranquilly.

A couple of questions:

1) What does "blanker" do, and is it part of Dmouse or DLineArt? Is it
   required if DLineArt is being used?

2) From what a number of people have said, I gather that Dmouse can be used
   to setup multiple hotkeys. The docs don't really make this clear one way
   or the other. If it's true, would the format be:

dmouse -c2 -s600 -w1 -C newwsh con:0/11/640/200/WShell/c
dmouse -Kcccc -C reallyneatprogram
dmouse -Kcccc -C reallyneatprogram2
dmouse -Kcccc -C reallyneatprogram3

  If I've got that right, what is the -K option, the raw keyboard codes?
  Where's an easy place to find a table of them? I took a quick look at
  KeyToy, KeyMapEd, and the 1.2 and 1.3 enhancer manuals with no luck.
  Would Rob Peck's book or the Lattice 5.02 docs (I'm gonna learn C RSN)
  have it?

Thanks for any answers, and thanks for some fun and even useful software!

PS Someone needs to check their system clock. A couple of the files in
the Zoo are dated a few days in the future. Software from a timewarp?
:-)
