Regarding Claus Brod's suggestion for getting one or the
other mouse button with event_mbutton or event_multi,
thanks, it helped me out.

I am having a problem that hopefully someone else has
already encountered and solved. I am running TOS1.4 on
a 1040STF with 4 megs, using LASER C 1.0. 

When I execute my program from within the Laser shell, the
event_multi call works fine. When I execute my program
from the desktop, the event_multi call will not receive
mouse button events. It's as if something is intercepting
them. My event_multi call is checking for keyboard and mouse
button input and the keyboard input works. Using event_mbutton
instead of event_multi has no effect.

I have tried disabling all the junk in my auto folder, to no
effect. It seems weird that something that runs ok out of a
shell wouldn't run off the desktop.

If the solution is to upgrade Laser C, I would like to. Does
anyone know Megamax's phone # & address. I have written to
the address in my manual requesting an upgrade but have
received no reply.

Thanks
