You will need to access the sysparamRec, but also a few others.  The new
mouse stuff if kept in the 'mcky' resource in the System File.  There
are, i believe, 6 of these resources.  Each is a longint.  If you need
the desktop patterns, there are 'PAT ' 16 and 'ppat' 16.  I think that
that pretty much covers all the system parameters you might need to 
get a handle on or change.  If anybody knows of others, don't hesitate
to correct me.....
