Thank you for pointing that out.  One surprising thing I've learned so far is that the Platinum IIe has the revised MouseText character set (running man replaced) like on the IIgs, and not the original MouseText (running man present) like on all the IIc's and the Enhanced IIe.  The original IIe didn't even have MouseText, but it did have inverse lowercase and a duplicate of the inverse uppercase.  So this makes me wonder about the Apple IIe card.  I found that the flashing text was replaced with red characters on black background, or black on red (depending on options settings), but I'm having difficulty finding anything on the MouseText characters for it, if it uses the original or revised versions.  I'm guessing that if it doesn't specifically say "revised" or "updated", then it's probably the original.  I will omit my findings on the IIe card since it's incomplete, unless someone here can point me to an authentic source that clarifies this.  I'm still working on a plan of attack for updating the page.  I don't want to be too hasty on this.
