Requires: A500+, A600 or A1200.
          Standard Kickstart 2.0x and Workbench 2.0x or better.
          RexxMast running, and RX in the path.

============================================================================

This should follow on for the Games Port, but instead I decided to use the
Mouse Port for direct HW access in READ mode on Pins 6 and 9 as this will
flow straight into the next article for Pins 6 and 9 of the Games Port...
 
The AmigaBASIC 'MOUSE' statement was ignored for this article as the RMB,
(Right Mouse Button), is not catered for inside the interpreter. Both the
ARexx code and the AmigaBASIC code can be simplified greatly but my
intention was to make it as childishly simple to understand as possible.

    Testing Evaluation:-
    --------------------


    An A1200 in 2MB, 6MB and 10MB modes using trapdoor memory AND/OR
    PCMCIA memory expansions. All memory expansions were ~DISABLED~ using
    the NoFastMem program from the System drawer. Also tested on two A600s
    with various memory configurations, a 1MB A500+ and an old style A500
    with a 0.5MB memory expansion at $C00000 using the A500+ emulator and
    Workbench 2.04, and LBNL an A600 emulating KS3.0x and running
    Workbench 3.0x.

    All test conditions were/are running STANDARD KS2.0x to 3.1x, and using
    standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout.

    I have no idea what a strange configuration setup will create so refer
    to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.

                                 WARNING.
