Boy, did I misremember the Fish disk number!  It's on #105.  The paragraph
from FF105 for it follows:

Record-Replay    A program that records a sequence of mouse and keyboard
                 events as they occur and stores them in a file.  The file
                 can be played back to cause the same sequence of events to
                 occur again.  Very useful for creating demonstrations
                 of programs or documenting repeatable bugs.  This is
                 version 2.0, an update to the version on disk 95.
                 Shareware, binary only.

The blurb on FF95 sez that the source is available from the authors.  But
they may have changed their minds since, since source is not mentioned
in the FF105 blurb.
