Windows 3.0 could help here.  Otherwise, get a third party Mouse Event
library (Zinc works).  Last, make your own Event (Queue) classes.  The
latter is what I did (its copyright CADSI so I can't release it).  The
last option is best in my book, 'cause you can make them work in
Phar Lap (and other) extended DOS.  This is required in my book.  If
you do the latter, there is a little eensy teensy book called MS-DOS
extensions that will be invaluable.  I got it at B. Dalton for about
$7.
