$Also, is something wrong with SetPointer in 1.2?  My code seems fine,

$(SpriteMaker)  This leads me to wonder if something new must be done to

I didn't have any problem with this... have you added memory to your system
when you went to 1.2?  Sounds awfully like your images are in fast ram and
you haven't made sure your chip data goes into chip ram.

$One final question:  Two parts or so, really.  One:  Is it okay for me
$to just Reply to a bunch of intuimessages but not do anything about
$them?  (say I am waiting for a specific event, and I don't want anything
$else to happen until I get it).

Bad programming practice.  You should disable those things you don't want
to get events from... disable menus and gadgets you don't want to hear from,
and turn off certain idcmp's if you don't want to hear those either.
Remember, as an EVENT driven program, you should only wake up on those things
you're interested in, in a given context.

$Two:  When I have been playing around a bit with my gadgets (sound sick)
$sometimes when I click the LMB, there will be a long pause before the
$system responds.  Have I done something to Intuition?  Any ideas?
$Chin-Long Cheng

Maybe you've done something that requires intuition to do a lot of layer
shuffling or something similar, which could 'soak' the machine temporarily.
