The book "Complete Turbo Pascal" by Jeff Duntemann describes how to use a
Microsoft mouse with TP (4.0 and up); it includes a Mouse unit.  I'm not sure
if it would work with a Logitech mouse or not, though.  Basically, you have
to use the INTR procedure to access the mouse functions; your mouse manual
might tell you which interrupts do what.
