Help with the Mouse!

Help with the Mouse!

[enterpoop.mit.edu!linus!think.com!sdd.hp.com!network.ucsd.edu!usc!howland]

   Does anyone by there know how to control the mouse? I have been
trying to get some information, but up to now I have had no success.
I would thank everybody who could tell me some hints about it. One 
of the problems is that I only know BASIC, Pascal and Ada, so I can't 
understand very well when I am talked of machine code or things 
like that! 

   I want to use a Microsoft-like mouse, and I don't mind if 
I had to load "MOUSE" or "GMOUSE" (or so on...) previously. Any ideas? 

   Thanks!

Didn't your mouse come with a manual? My Genius has a leaflet with
it that clearly describes the functions of the mouse driver (yes,
you really should use it). Another good source of information (as
always) is Ralf Brown's interrupt list.
Generally, you call an interrupt with AX set to the function number
desired, and you get values in other registers. I have my books at
home, so I can't be more specific at the moment.
The list I mentioned is available from several FTP sites. Ask archie
(send a mail to archie@nic.funet.fi; no subject; body contains the
line "prog inter3" and nothing else); it usually answers within a few
minutes.
