Done : we all agree on what graf_mouse(258/259/260) do.

The problem is the constant name given in compendium/gemlib for theses 
values. BTW, there's no name proposal (M_RESTORE, M_SAVE...) in the tos4rn.

I put here my previous post to be clear:

graf_mouse(259) _restore_ the saved mouse form: why the name used is 
M_LAST. IMO it should be
M_RESTORE.
graf_mouse(260) set the mouse form to its _last_ shape. why the name used 
is M_RESTORE? IMO it should
be M_LAST (or M_PREVIOUS).

What i suggest is that the compendium and gemlib are wrong, and MT_AES is 
right.

if in a C piece of code i found the followning:
/* some code */
graf_mouse(M_SAVE);
/* some other code */
graf_mouse(M_RESTORE)
/* ... */

i expect the 2nd graf_mouse() call to restore the mouse form saved in the 
1st graf_mouse call. Don't
you ?

best regards,
Arnaud.
