Yeah, I'm using Windows.  I have access to OSX at school, but I do most of my work at home.  HID does look interesting though.

Thanks for the heads-up on [gemmouse], I'm exploring that now.  I seem to remember GEM having no problem drawing arbitrary shapes, so I might be able to make a score with it.

what's wrong with [hid]?

if you need to be on w32, you could also try [gemmouse] (which only
captures the Gem-window)
