I wrote a little program to pop-up a menu whereever the left mouse button is
clicked. The menu consists of a hand-built object tree, basically pretty simple
stuff.  The problem I am having is with the mouse pointer!!  I know that the 
AES records the # of times you GRAF_MOUSE(M_OFF, 0L), and that you must
issue an equal # of M_ON's to restore the mouse. My question: Is there anyway
to over-ride this mechanism?  If not, is there a way to find out how many times
the mouse has been hidden (not counting mousehidden in msh!).
I am using MWC 3.0.5, a .5meg ST, and the tos 1.0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks,
