I still don't get this to work in the latest WinTCL build.  Hitting 'a'
turns the mouse into a cross pointer and prompts "Attack where?".  Clicking
on an enemy unit has no apparent effect (and, if 'a' is hit when the pointer
is *not* over an enemy unit, the cursor turns into a cross, and then back
into an arrow as soon as it is over an enemy unit - again, no effect with
clicking.
