I see mouse coords with many BG texts, how do I use em? How do I find out where my mouse is?

Oooh, ok now I get it.
You're mouse is where you're pointer is, and the button to see the coordinates is custom installed (go to the config menu and assign keys)
I have it under X

mouse coors are pretty much useless..it is useful if someone has posted a cheese or if you cant find an item, and some helpful soul posts a mouse coordinate so you can activate the hotkey and thus use it like a gps to find the item you had trouble finding, but aside from that minor use, its not really very helpful...

map reference numbers, on the other hand are very useful, like "ar2600" or what ever lets you type in "CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("ar2600") and jump to the area saving lots of time...

I agree that mouse coordinates aren't very useful in this particular game; just keep hitting the Tab key and you'll find 99.9% of all useful items.
