Ok, I didn't understand most of whats being said here, other than 'fit it
all in an QL' and 'ARM', the first sounds exciting the second would have a
certain person spinning in their grave if 1. they were in one and 2. if it
was implemented :-)

That's a bit technical, Wikipedia does it in a more manageable style at

I'm afraid that the Kindle format for it's books is proprietary and, as

Malcolm,
SMSQ/E was just going through its "open-source" birth when I left the scene

Hi George,

Yes, I read that - I don't understand why, if this is the case, I can
have a hit routine that is expected to jump back into the WMAN code to
handle it internally. Why not just call WM_MHIT internally anyway?

Very wise, that's what I did. Interesting results.
Starting the program and pressing TAB to activate the application
sub-window gives two hits. On entry to the first hit, I see the pointer
position in D1, the keystroke in D2 as -1

I have to sympathise with some of the points Dave has raised, as a recent
returner to the QL scene I also find it a lot to take in a short space of
time and there is a tremendous amout of reading to do, in order to;
1: Get back in to the mindset of QL programming.
2: Decide the route you intend
