I think, you understand :-) I use it rare on some screens for cut & paste and never use it on another screens. If you interested in my personal approx statistics: for 4 hours of work I use mouse 5 times on 3 screens (from 12). Since it is hard to guess moment when mouse will be needed, and it can happens even inside program, I turn mouse on in my .login. > > > I have suggestion to change default mousepointer location to 80,25 > > instead (lastX-charWidth,lastY-charHeight in pixels).

Middlescreen is not good, because cover some character too. I choose last position because it is almost impossible (without special IC/DC trick) put the characer there due to line wrapping, so it stays empty most of time. -- Andrey A.
