You should be able to get some of the information you want by reading the
publications about the MAC -- ST. MAC, and MAC World.  The April issue of
MAC WORLD has an article on pg 110 which presents a simple program using
the mouse in MS BASIC, MAC BASIC, and MAC PASCAL.  All three listings are
well-commented, and suggestions for improvements given.  You should be able
to use the examples to do something with Pascal and BASIC.  Another source
of info is Compuserve (and, presumably, The Source).  There is a very active
MAC group running on CompuServe, and a very good terminal emulator written in
MS BASIC (MACTEP) is available on the X-access database for the Apple SIG on
CS.  By some accounts, MACTEP is *much better* than MacTerminal!!

By the way, *HOW* do you get your hands on pre-release versions of MAC BASIC
and Pascal????  I live in the same area as Apple--even have some internal
connections (of possibly dubious quality), and I can't seem to get anyone to
let loose of a copy!!  This goes for MacTerminal, the new 4-pass copy routine,
and the update of MacWrite which is supposed have sub- and superscripts, etc.
What gives here?  What have you guys got that I don't have? (Besides the 
pre-release stuff, of course.)
