Huh. OK. Maybe I don't get confused when it's third-person or something. 
Which is kind of funny, because the whole reason for enabling inverted mouse 
is that the center of rotation isn't at the center of control. You can 
either look at it as "mouse up moves screen contents (i.e., *character's* 
eyes) up" or "mouse up moves *player's* eyes up, hence looking down thru the 
screen."  Like in a plane, where pulling the stick back (i.e., down) moves 
the *tail* down, but since you're not in the tail, the plane goes up. If the 
tail stuck out the front of the plane like kittyhawk, nobody would have 
invented mouse invert to start with.




By the time you get to Uru, the controls are annoying as heck anyway. :-)
