This sounds kinky to me.  Do your Turbo-C programmers like this?

It can be done in Turbo Pascal using the Intr procedure so I would believe it
possible in Turbo-C, in fact I wouldn't be suprised if Turbo C also has a
Intr function.

Assuming it does then all you need is the interrupt number for the mouse (33h)
and the command reference.  The latter, I would tell you now but I'm at home
and don't have it available.  Some texts on PC programming will have it.
