Sorry, due to its size, that was it at the time.  It was actually broken into 
quite a few pieces for editing.

I'd assume that is IF it finds a mouse at all.  It hasn't found mine.  ATM I 
don't recall what I was doing with the 2nd & third buttons in Icnedit 
precisely, other than one cycled through the available pallete of colors, 
possibly the right button, or one went one way and the other in reverse 
order.  If Nitros9 is using the right mouse button as a window switch, I can 
see where that might be confusing.

Yes, that does seem to be a higher priority item. :)
