"High-level, easy-to-use, REXX mouse functions with usage example. No 
doc's" 
Usenet message from the author: 
"M contains several high-level mouse functions. It supports about 
everything I could think of in every way I could think of, and is rather 
easy-to-use. 
For example, it can return the mouse cursor position. But also just the 
line number, return values (the default setting), and it includes some 
sound support, time-outs, and all (possible) screensizes. 
There's a (OS) limitation: it requires fullscreen text-mode. And you have 
to do the screen-I/O (draw screen, et cetera) yourself. So don't expect 
functions like "FileSaveAs()"! Not all functions are tested intensivly 
too. 
Because it will take a while before the whole manual is completed (C nor 
English is my native language) I have already uploaded the runtime  of "M" 
to Hobbes (http://hobbes.nmsu.edu), including one example with comments 
(select a drive with a key or the mouse). I assume it's somehow usable 
that way, but it doesn't use all (89!) available functions. Just ask if 
you've a specific need. 
Anyway, I assume a typical REXX application can be based on the included 
EXAMPLE.CMD, so one can already use it as from now. The example is more 
"difficult" than required but OTOH it can be used by users, and it also 
supports the keyboard."
