Try looking at interrupt 33h, function 12h.  This call allows you to force the
mouse to call a function of yours whenever an interrupt occurs.  I believe you
need to pass in the address of your function in DS:BX, and the mask of "interrupt
types" (such as every time the mouse moves, a button is pressed, a button is
released, etc) that determines which mouse functions causes your handler to be
called in CX.  You can find that information in any lowlevel reference such as Ralf
Brown's interrupt listings.
