I have a REXX dll thread that is waiting for mouse events to occur.  But I
am unalbe to kill if no mouse events are happening because it is waiting
in a MouReadEventQue(...MOU_WAIT...) call.

Is there some way to force it out of the MouReadEventQueu()?  The only way
I'm getting out of it now is to use MOU_NOWAIT but I feel very silly
polling on mouse activity in this day and age.

Should I not be doing MouReadEventQueu() and use IOCTL instead?  This is
supposes
to be a simple port from a DOS program.

Thanks
