I'm not sure exactly how to position the mouse cursor; I do know that
it's not really a kosher thing to do.

However, it is possible to clip the cursor's movement to an arbitrary rectangle

That rectangle is defined in a low-memory global. Unfortunately, Inside Mac
Volume 3 doesn't list this global, but you should be able to find it in
the assembler equates that come with either the MPW assembler or the Consulair
assembler.
