Heh. So did you get the all the edits before or after I had relocated it? ;-P

> Just imagine something. Maybe three screens?
Heh, I think in multiple.

I agree and to be honest my post was more to reference the prior idea under DOS and to see if Jaspeth would be kind enough to include something similar. He's busy enough as it is, so I'm not expecting anything from anyone but thought I would at least share the basic idea and try to track down the modified CTMOUSE version which I had seen (which did eventually after a few edits as you know ;)]

Thanks. So it sounds like the idea might be a legacy MAME mode with a newer better future proof mode. e.g. for projects like http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/ who appear to continue to use DOS unlike MAME. Note: I don't actually use MAME in any form myself but tend to think improving things for all DOS users. I can see the usefulness of multiple cursor support etc under DOS as it would seem you / Bret can, I'll be honest though and can't say I have an immediate need for this myself tho.
