recording mouse movements

[Ashtyster]

I've been able to make E-Prime record cursor movements. However, after
looking at the recorded values, I realized it would be ideal if I
could record finger movements on the touch pad directly instead of
movements of the cursor on the screen. Does anyone know whether it's
possible to do it with E-Prime. I know I should address this question
to E-Prime tech support (which I've done already), but maybe somebody
has done this before and could give me some tips.

Thank you.
