All you really have to do is call:

	Point	mouseLoc;

	GetMouse(&mouseLoc);
	...

which returns in mouseLoc the current location of the mouse (whether the
button was clicked or not) in LOCAL coordinates. I once made the mistake
off calling GlobalToLocal on mouseLoc which is obviously unnecessary.
Remember, the local coordinates are of the current GrafPort and mouseLoc
is of type Point.
