I'm writing a simple text application which uses a mouse (I have
absolutely no mouse programming experience).  The problem is that
the mouse cursor occasionally leaves a ghost behind when text is
displayed.  I've tried turning the mouse display off prior to any
screen updates, but this didn't solve the problem.  Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated!

Details: Logitech series 9 mouse
         BC++3.0 program using int 33h

Thanks in advance!
