First up I don't think mousepos is a MW version 1 (MW for DOS) primitive.

For MW2 could you explain this a bit more please Gary. I just had a bit of a
play around with this procedure:

to go
show mousepos
if pos = mousepos [pr "y]
end

This does a mouseover type effect but only if the mouse co-ordinates are
*exactly* the same as the turtle co-ordinates, which is quite hard to
achieve. How do you fudge it so that it works if the mouse is *close* to the
turtle?
