- Well, yes, sort of. Install a CxFilter that looks for "lcommand
- lbutton". Attach a CxTranslate to that which maps it to nothing.
- Voila, Intuition never sees the sequence. Of course, it would be nice
- if you did something useful with it as Mike suggests. Perhaps issue a
- message or requester that informs the user that screen dragging is not
- available while your application is running.
-
- In order to insure that you swallow those events before another
- running commodity gets a hold of them, set your broker's nb_Pri
- sufficiently high-- but again, this all sounds rather unfriendly.
-
- See RKM: Libraries pp727 and following for more details.

- Yes, exactly. In _ALL_ _RELEASED_ _VERSIONS_ this feature is just
- where you (should have) left it. ...unless C= has released something
- and not told anyone. ;-)
