Now a question to Dave - what size is your display?
24 x 80 or 27 x 132
We had one person ask this same question a year or so ago - not realizing that the display size can be changed to 27 x 132
Your screen may already be that size - but Im trying not to assume

Indeed. Like SEU, our QuestView product automatically uses 132-column mode on any given terminal, if it finds it (and I added the splash screen many years ago in order to safely detect whether the terminal was "lying" to the host about being 132-column-enabled, before it starts building UDDS screens), after observing that such "lying" can and does actually happen.

And Jon, I honestly can't remember what the manual with the mouse extensions is even called, or I'd have looked up whether or not it's possible for a mouseover can be mapped to an AID. I know that advanced mouse functionality is something I looked into supporting in our emulator, along with InfoWindow II mousetext and non-space-occupying attributes, but I quickly decided not to go beyond Simple Hotspots.
