Hello All,

	I am having difficulty maintaining a mouse interrupt on
a data form icon.  One of the first things that I do in my
flow is enable a mouse interrupt.  However, I really do not need
the mouse interrupt to be active untill I reach a Data Form icon.
I just put the mouse interrupt early in the flow for debugging 
purposes.  Unfortunately, the data form seems to disable the mouse
interrupt.  The hit boxes and text that I define using the mouse
interrupt appear on my data form screen as I would like them to,
they just do not accept 'hits' when the data form is active.

	The interrupt is active up to the data form icon, 
I verify this by hitting the hit boxes and getting a resounding
beep.  When the computer is executing the data form, the hit
boxes defined by the mouse interrupt still show up on the screen,
but they are no longer active, (they no longer beep when
hit orexecute the flow under the mouse interrupt.)


	What I am trying to do is use a Data Form icon to 
build a "requester" that accepts the pathname, repetitions,
comments, and user defined names of an anim, still pix, sound, etc.
and I want the user to be able to pull up the ARP file requester
without exiting the "requester"-Data Form.  I need to store the
pathname, comments, etc. into a database.  The mouse interrupt 
I expected, would allow me to hit a PATH button that I had defined
as a hit box in the mouse interrupt, and bring up the ARP file requester
using AREXX.  The AREXX code works well.  Its just that the
darned interrupt dies.  Any suggestions, bug fixes, or work arounds
deeply appreciated.  
Thanks,
Aaron
