*grin*
Easy.  Haveta manage device-access somehow and don't want the consoles
stealing the mouse or keyboard on me.  Say, with the memory target (can it
do that?)

That and I -do- want to be able to control which device gets keyboard
(okay, so I know how to do that :)

And I'd like to send mouse/.... events too as that'd be handy :)

G'day, eh? :)

.. hmmm - never thought of that way of 'adding sides'.  Mayhaps I should
start with a flat surface and add surfaces as needed...  Could end up with
a -much- more complex surface than a cube and my code has no probs with
that :)
