Can anyone tell me a way of positioning the mouse cursor at a desired screen location. What I would like to do is - at different times position the mouse cursor at a specified location on the screen. For example if condition then cursor_position(x,y); end Note that I do not want to write my own mouse controlling routines. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. tim brecht@sask.UUCP ihnp4!sask!brecht utcsri!sask!brecht ubc-vision!alberta!sask!brecht Tim Brecht Department of Computational Science University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, CANADA

Why this information isn't in all the data books is the real question. The reason may be that these addresses aren't "safe", ie later releases of TOS may not work with them, but it works on my 1040 now. These aren't supervisor- only locations. mouse X 0x26E0 All three words can be read or written. If you mouse Y 0x26E2 write them, the mouse cursor will jump to the mouse buttons 0x26E6 desired position. John Purbrick jpexg@hermes.ai.mit.edu
