I don't mean to be picky about a program that I already love after
less than an half an hour of use, BUT here's a way to lock up your
(at least my) amiga using Dmouse...

Have a CLI window on the screen overlapping another window (anything that
has folders or something in it).  Click the window with the icons in it
to the front, and click on an icon in that window, and keep holding
the left mouse button down.  Now press the right mouse button, which
should send this window to the back.  Instead, my amiga locks up.
No guru, no blinking power led, but definately locked up.

My amiga is an old 1000 with 2.5 Meg of ram.  No Extra halfbrite (That's
the problem!)

Great program...obscure bug (as evidenced by the complex instructions)

Sorry if this is confusing,

(if this message gets garbled, it's because my amiga
locked up trying out the bug again...  8)
