Overview
About the "Low Level" Mouse Routines:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Expand Library comprises a set of functions that make controlling
the Mouse in text mode possible. The Functions found in this part of
the documentation are all 'Low Level' Mouse functions, meaning that they
perform some simple task directly on the Mouse Driver (MOUSE.COM
generally). The routines in the next section ('High Level' Mouse
functions) all use the primary functions of this part to interface with
the Mouse.
The routines in this section (and in all of the Expand Library, in fact)
are designed for Text mode use, not graphics. If you switch between graphics
and text, save the Mouse state with XPmousePush()/XPmousePop(), or use
XPmouseInit() or XPmouseReset() to reset to "normal" when exiting from
graphics.
Programming the Mouse is quite special and can be confusing some times,
Read the documentation to be well informed, and for some tips.
Note that the functions here have no direct effect on the Video, except
for the Mouse Cursor itself.
By default, the Mouse is ON, if, however, you want your application to ignore
the mouse completely, set the mouse off using the XPmouseSet() function.
