Capturing all mouse clicks

I am trying to write an app that will work kind of like Recorder, except
that is is triggered by clicking on the right or middle mouse button.

My question is: How do you get all mouse messages, including those that
are done in other apps?  Is there a way to modify your message loop to 
get all messages?

It seems that recorder works this way (except with the keyboard),
and I looked at a shareware program called whiskers that does approximately 
this with the mouse, but I couldn't get whiskers to activate recorder.

My end goal is to get the mouse click (right or middle button) to
start an app.  Is there a better way?

By the way, I am using Borland C 3.1.

Thanks for any help, guesses, or whatever you think of.
