In anticipation of virtual memory, I offer the following description
of how to set the mouse to any point on the screen.

	Step 1. Place mouse at 0,0.  Turn on the journalling driver.
	Move mouse to 0,1.  Turn off the journalling driver.

	Step 2. Similar to step 1, but move to 0,2.

	...

	(do this for each pair of pixels)

Now, to move the mouse from any location to any other location, use the
journalling mechanism to play back the appropriate movement. :-)

Seriously, I wonder if there is some way to get the journalling stuff
to do this for you.  This may be a safer way then directly mucking with
low memory globals.
