My Windows 3.1 and mouse and video driver are compatible (based on
the mouse working when I run DOS EDIT, etc. in a window).  Here's the
problem:  I have a relatively simple DOS program (written in BC++3.1)
which uses the mouse, but for some reason it ignores the mouse when
running in a window.  Is there some special initialization I'm missing
which allows Windows to feed it the mouse info?  My program basically
just initializes the mouse (int 33h, function 0h I think) and then
uses int 33h to check for button presses and locations.  Thanks!
