The 'AMOUSE' mnemonic is similar to the 'MOUSE' mnemonic, with the following exceptions:
- While 'MOUSE' hot spots are specified relative to the current screen and are associated with that screen, 'AMOUSE' hot spots are relative to the entire terminal display.
- 'MOUSE' hot spots move with a screen and vanish if the screen is cleared or scrolled. 'AMOUSE' hot spots persist until they are explicitly removed.
- 'AMOUSE' provides access to a lower level of 'MOUSE' Do not use 'MOUSE' and 'AMOUSE' together. For example, 'AMOUSE'(0,0,0,0) removes all 'AMOUSE' and 'MOUSE' hot spots. However, 'MOUSE' hot spots can reappear if not properly cleared.
