I unpacked the Borland kit recently posted to comp.graphics and
everything went ok. (Thanks Bob!)  When editing the fonts with fe.exe
the mouse movements turned all the colors into whites and *erased* the
character selector display.  The grey's turned into bright white with
just a pass of the pointer. 

The mouse button was *not* pressed at any time.  The display of
characters in the box to the right would disappear as I would slide the
mouse past each character.  It was as if the pointer were an eraser. :-(

The oddities of my configuration are an Intel 386 running Sys V Unix
with DosMerge, Genius mouse, Paradise ega on a worthless Wyse 640
monitor.  BTW, if you want warrenty service from Wyse, forget it.  They
just keep sending them back broken.  The FM says the mouse is Microsoft
mouse compatable. 

I just thought I'd throw this out in case anyone else has this problem. 
Any thoughts appreciated.  Summary possible in the off chance anyone
else has the same problems. 

Cheers!
