I understand that C-Scape from Oakland computing has a new release which
supports the mouse and added features.  I have used the old version, which
did not support the mouse.  They have a program called "Look and Feel" which
is a screen designer.  You draw the screen, with field specifiers, colors, etc
and the program generates the C source.  Quite a time saver.
