0905 - Summary/Objective
0906 -
090601 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0001.
090602 -
090603 - Took 250 M tape drive and full backup of CPU #3; Windows 3.1
090604 - installation disks.
090605 -
090606 -     Left the Windows 3.1 disketts so Morris can upgrade his Windows
090607 -     program later.
090608 -
090609 -     We were unable to use the tape drive because the controller for
090610 -     his tape drive is for an internal unit, and we have external tape
090611 -     drive.  Morris has an external tape drive also, but Everex makes
090612 -     systems that use alternate controllers, and he chose the one that
090613 -     needs an internal tape drive.
090614 -
090615 -  ..
090616 -
090617 - Mouse support added to Medit today, per planning on 920405.
090618 - ref SDS 11 0001
090619 -
090620 - Initial tests indicate it will meet objectives.
090621 -
090622 - Morris found some code from Logitec and some code he had developed for
090623 - mouse application in other situations, which he was able to apply to
090624 - create mouse support in Medit.
090625 -
090626 - Mouse works if mouse.com or mouse.sys is called, and a mouse is
090627 - installed.  If a mouse is not present, the program runs normally.
090628 -
090629 - The mouse can be used to jump the cursor to the mouse position, and
090630 - to execute functions.
090631 -
090632 -
090633 - New Commands

090635 - pfb1   Left mouse button
090636 - pfb2   Right button
090637 -
090638 -      How do we reset the standard functionality of the enter key to
090639 -      the mouse button keys?
090640 -
090641 - posmouse x y      moves the cursor to a particular position.
