DMouse 1.03 is really nice, but it has a couple of annoying bugs or 
misfeatures.  Here's what happens when it runs on my system, an A1000 
with 512K, 2 drives, v1.2 operating system and no other software 
enhancements or hacks.  These are listed in order from minor bugs to 
possible funny interactions.

1.  At bootup, screen blanks after random time shorter than 5 minutes.  
    After that first time, screen blanking works normally.

2.  At bootup, DMouse does not respond to Left-Amiga-esc comman until
    after first mouse movement or click. 

3.  The s/startup-sequence lines 
	if EXISTS sys:system
		path sys:system add
	endif
    etc. no longer add the 'system' and 'utilities' directories to the
    file search path.  (Possibly misunderstanding of CLI on my part.) 

4.  With click-to-front enabled, start Diskman v2.0.  Click on gadget or 
    filename.  The title bar disappears.  Click right mouse button.  
    Title bar reappears.  (Is the Diskman "title bar" actually a 
    separate window?)

Even with these flaws, DMouse has displaced PopCLI from my boot disk and 
taken away all temptation to use MACH.
