Have any new mouse/joystick sensing features been built into SCALA MM400?

I am interested specifically in the following:
a.) Can SCALA MM400 sense the x,y location of the mouse pointer and give  
the user the ability to trigger events based on where the pointer is?   
(I'm *not* talking here about clicking in a box, I'm talking about sensing  
just from moving the mouse pointer over an area of the screen.)
b.) If the above is possible, is it also possible, then, to tell whether  
the mouse pointer is moving or still, say, by comparing the last x,y to  
the current x,y and "sensing" thereby whether the pointer has moved since  
the mouse port was last polled?
c.) Does SCALA have the ability to send and receive data over the parallel  
and serial ports?
d.) Does it have the ability to sense voltages on the joystick pins and  
trigger events by joystick input?

Many thanks,

George Roland
