Since the reason to test out other than vga/ega modes has not presented
itself, my assumption was that ODT-DOS only does this with applications
running/requiring vga/ega. And, I would, again, assume that if Grafix
runs in cga or herc mode, then it would be possible. Correct me if my
assumption is out to lunch.

Wonder if you have noticed that when a dos application (something like
qbasic) is in a window the mouse events are not interpreted but when you
zoom the application, the mouse events become interpreted?
