HMMM, it can't be a moused option, as it has (and shouldn't have)
no knowledge of whats going on on the screen.
Also it cannot be any chars, it HAS to be in the range that the
hardware supports the 9'th bit thingy (thats some 32 chars, I don't
remember the actual numbers, something like 0xd0-0xef).
HMMMM, I'll have to think about this one....
The problem with scrnmap on cut'ed text is solvable by having a
reverse scrnmap table..
