Re: Reading Mouse Location in UNIX via Emulator

Ah - as usual, soon after posting out of frustration, I stumbled across
my own answer.

You need to use the decimal values of the coordinates and subtract 32
from them to obtain column and row values.

So - in my examples above:

!  = 33 - 32 = 1
" = 34 - 32 = 2
8 = 56 - 32 = 24

Of course - the 't' does not work here ( t = 116 - 32 = 84 ), but that
is because my emulator window was in fact set to 84 columns wide.

With this in mind, I shoul dbe able to make my program "mouse aware".

Has anyone had any experience with this? Any pointers/tips would be
appreciated ...


Thanks again,
Chris
