The first time I saw/met Ken Levy was at the DevCon where he had touch
screen app in FP DOS. I remember it was one big do while statement. I
think he showed it to Bill Gates.

Subject: RE: on line demo of VFP Touchscreen app
It's my basic understanding that most 'touch-screen' monitors have 2
connections: 1 for the usual monitor port and another for either the mouse
port or a serial port. Then you need to have drivers for the monitor
(usually included or downloaded). After that, I think it pretty much works
like using a mouse. But some things may depend on the monitor.
In many ways it's like using the screen as a touch pad. But from what I've
heard the resolution of movement (dragging) isn't quite as good as with a
touch pad.
I was thinking about getting one and playing with it. The downside is it's
a monochrome, but the upside is it'd be very cheap (maybe free...).
HTH,
