Is there a way to move the cursor under program control?  
Basically, I want to use the mouse as a real-world data
collection device.  I want to intercept the XY data from the roller ball interruptors or laser? LEDs and process it under
program control WITHOUT moving the cursor on the screen. Can 
I disconnect the two?

Why do this?  Simply to create a new physical data input device
that won't stop inputting data when the cursor would OTHERWISE
stop at the edge of the screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks, 
Nick Gessler, Ph.D.
