[comp.lang.pascal] mouse programming

I will soon need to incorporate a mouse into an existing (text) TP
program.  I've never programmed an application with a mouse and have
some very basic questions:

How does TP communicate with the mouse?  Are all mouses created equal?
Just what does the mouse driver do?  Do I have to move the mouse
cursor, or is that the function of the driver?  Are there any tricky
things to watch out for?

I plan to use TechnoJock's Turbo Tollkit to do this, does that change
answers to the above?  Thanks.
