recording mouse movements

[David McFarlane]

Oh, I should mention that PST has an example TrackMouseCoordinates 
program on their web site that you may find useful to look at.  (And 
then I must warn you, as I did in another post today, that in general 
PST programmers are pretty sloppy, so do not take their example 
programs as models of proper programming practice.  Instead, take 
them only as rough examples of particular features and then abstract 
the useful parts and recode it properly for yourself.)
