Try the program MovePointer of Fish disk 87. This is not done by
sending an Intuimessage but by invoking the Input device telling it
an input event (like mouse move/click) has happened. But watch out,
the click feature of the said program is not able to do a real doubleclick.
To patch this I modified the provided source by replacing IECODE_NOBUTTON
through SELECTUP.
