I am adding mouse routines to an existing application.  This
appication is written in TurboPascal 5.5 and runs in graphics
mode--EGA, VGA, or Hercules.  Using the standard SetGraphicsCursor
routine (listed below), I can successfully get a cursor in EGA and
VGA.  But the Hercules cursor looks like it's being mapped to memory
all wrong--actually, as looks as if the mouse was using the text
cursor instead of the graphics cursor.  This hunch is reinforced by
the fact that the x and y coords of the mouse move in increments of 8.
My guess is that the mouse driver isn't getting word of the shift to
graphics mode (I've got a Logitech mouse with driver 4.10).

I'm sure this has been hashed over before in this (or some related)
group, but my site doesn't keep notes around for very long so I
couldn't find any reference of such a discussion.  If someone can
even point me to a reference or source, I'd be grateful.
