[OFBiz] Users - (newbie) OFBIZ 3.0 POS

[David E. Jones]

BJ,

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that your comments were negative. Only  
the first paragraph was meant as a reply to you and the second was a  
general comment.

Okay, in some cases touch screen input may be mapped by a driver to  
look like keyboard events, but that is not the case with what the  
OFBiz POS stuff was intended for. As I understand it all it gets are  
mouse events from the touch screen.
