There's a Sybex book by Charles C. Edwards that contains a very informative
section on how the Microsoft mouse driver works. It includes the documented
source code for a complete TP mouse library. The book was written 
specifically for TP 3.0, but almost all the code in it works without
modification. I had no problems whatsoever getting the mouse code to work.

BTW, the book's name is 'Advanced Techniques in Turbo Pascal'

If you can't find it, and you still need the information, let me know and
I will email you the source. (I have it on file somewhere, in the form
of a TP unit)
