Thanks for this. I have now committed the changes to the X input layer to CVS. I am not sure how best to add the Module source to the CVS repository, because BASIC files are binary, and don't lend themselves to CVS diff showing changes easily - CVS works better with text files. I am open to suggestions on how best to handle this. Incidentally, the method I am using for generating modules is to assemble them under Linux/x86 using the GNU binutils setup for ARM code. This way the module source is plain text, and can be assembled anywhere the GNU tools are available. Does anyone think this is the best way to add source code for support modules to ArcEm? > !Zap seems to scroll better than !Edit, and also windows that scroll using > open_window_request rather than scroll_request work *much* better (e.g. the > Filer, Task Manager etc...).

I am a bit rusty on RISC OS Wimp programming, but I have a suggestion for how to prevent the inadvertent scrolling of Info boxes - read the Window Flags of the window to scroll, and only scroll if the window has a vertical scroll bar visible. On another issue: could those people who are more familiar with Windows or MacOS programming contribute similar scroll wheel support to the code for those platforms?
