Actually I have R'd TFM.  What I'm interested in is the interface with
the mouse driver.  The event manager shields the programmer from this
insipid business.  This insipid business, however, is precisely what I
want information about.  Thanks, incidentally, to all those who sent me
event manager code.  Thought it wasn't exactly what I was looking for,
it turned out to be very useful anyway.  It will not go unused!
