These are listed in the documentation which comes with the mouse (at least, they used to be for Microsoft). I believe they're also documented in the interrupt list maintained by Ralf Brown. If you really want a book on programming the mouse, Microsoft publishes one, complete with disc. I believe it's about 40 dollars. One of the summary editions of DOS extensions also lists the mouse interrupts (runs about 6 bucks). Good luck Bill -- Bill de Beaubien / wjb@moscom.com
