Grabber by Michael Kahl
6/14/90
About Grabber
-------------
Grabber is a cdev/INIT that operates anywhere where there is a scroll bar.
Hold down the right magic keys (initially "control") and click, and the
cursor will change to a hand. You can now scroll by dragging the hand
around.
Give the hand a "push" and the scrolling will continue even when you
release the mouse button. The rate of scrolling will decrease gradually,
due to friction.
The cdev has a master on/off switch, as well as switches to enable/disable
momentum and friction. It also allows you to specify what combination of
magic keys trigger Grabber.

Build Instructions
------------------
To build both the cdev and INIT from scratch, build the cdev first, then
build the INIT, merging it into the cdev.
To build just the cdev, follow the above procedure. Building the cdev
rewrites the file, destroying the INIT, so you have to build the INIT too.
To build just the INIT, you can merge it directly into the existing file.
