I use Bernie to the Rescue on a Mac G3, but it also works on all the
Apple IIGSes I have as well.
The mouse is programmed for slot #4.

The inverse L's are mousetext characters with the mousetext character
ROM turned off which then would just display the inverse upper case
character.  For the most part, I have programmed the code that once
the mousetext character ROM is enabled with a chr$(27), then it is
always on.  Something in the Apple Win code must be turning it off
prematurely.  I have tested this toolbox on an Apple IIGS, and Laser
128ex, although the Laser uses the running man so some characters look
wrong.  I will try my IIc+ when I have time to set it up.
