MouseWithin

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Craig,
I'm actually using the mouseLine function in my mouseWithin handler.  Since
I wrote my email, I found that I can use the mouseMove message in a
behavior and all works fine so life is good.

By the way, I don't see a mouseHover message in the dictionary - were you
just using it as a generic term?

Thanks,

Pete
