Mobile: Convert from screen to card coords = ALREADY BUILD-IN!

[Klaus major-k]

Hi Brian,

Panos showed me the already build-in solution!

Just use globalloc() and localloc() to translate to and 
from screencoordinates/card coordinates also on "Mobile"!

Just tested and as far as I can tell this works a charme! :-)
A typical "slap on the forehead" thingie...
