I know that in the old systems, back when IM 1&2 were new, the information for
mouse scaling, key repeat rate, etc. was stored in the system parameter ram. I
also know that you could get the values using GetSysPtr.  However, with the 
newer control panel devies, is all such info still in the parameter ram?

Actually, what i really need is the format of the information in parameter 
ram. i am assuming, i hope correctly, that the info regarding the SysParmType
record is outdated due to the new mouse CDEV, etc.  For instance, before
you could only set the mouse scaling on/off.  Now we have 4 levels, or
zillions of levels with the Pointing Device CDEV.  Where and in what format
is this new data stored?  I can't seem to find reference to it in IM 4/5.
Is it in some technote?

Thanx,
Michael O'Rourke
