        :-)) You may laugh.
        But, that's exactly what happens. :-) If you do 
BView::SetEventMask(B_POINTER_EVENTS, 0), you actually
get what SetMouseEventMask() does in MouseDown(). :-)

        This is because I tested how R5 behaves only after I did the 
implementation,
and I was under the impression that SetEventMask(B_POINTER_EVENTS) must do what
SetMouseEventMask() does. :-P (You all know that I programmed BeOS _very_ 
little :) )
