  <grin> It might work, but would probably be too slow.  I seem to
recall reading, too, that MacroMaker "owns" the journalling driver,
and programs are no longer supposed to use it.

  It might, but the globals seem to work for now.  Unless Apple gives
in and provides SetMouse(), I think this mechanism is as good as any
other.  (It will probably work until the advent of protected memory,
anyway.)

  Just my thoughts....
