I got it.  Now I have a problem with the mouse.  I have a 3-button Genius
mouse and I am using the gmouse.com which came with it.  It's supposed to
be Logitech compatible, but I have my doubts.  For some reason the cursor
is displayed as two parallel rectangles which, when moved are not replaced
by the original background, but color the screen.  In addition, these
rectangles are confined to alternating strips on the screen (the same width
as these rectangles).  I suspect that the program uses interrupts which are
supposed to work for all mice, but for some reason my mouse driver has a
problem with them.  It works fine for Windows, Word, TC++, and several
other programs, but not for this one.  I had the same problem when I tried
unsucessfully to write my own program using the mouse.

Anyone else have the same problem?  Anyone have a solution?  Please email
and I will post a summary.

Tanx.
