I am attempting to write an application in C that uses a microsoft
compatible mouse in graphics mode.  The difficulty I am having is in the
call of the driver to determine the release status and number of cliks
since the last call.  Each time I call this function the status and
number of cliks appear to be 0.  Maybe (most probably) I don't
understand the sequence necessary to call this function properly.  

I have coded a fairly tight loop that waits for the mouse to rest and
then calls the release status function.  This always gives a zero status
and number of cliks although the cursor position of the mouse at button
release appears to be correct.  Could someone give some guidance on just
how the mouse calls should be interacted with.

Thanks in advance.
