I'm writing a simple text interface which uses a mouse (no experience
whatsoever with mouse programming). The problem is that the mouse
occasionally leaves a 'ghost' behind. This seems to be mainly a problem
when text is being displayed. I've tried turning the mouse pointer display
off prior to screen writes and back on afterwards, but the problem persists.
The setup is:
    Logitech series 9 mouse w/ 6.0 driver
    BC++3.0 program using int 33h
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
