I am writing a screen saver (isn't everyone these days) which will terminate
with a KeyDownMask, MouseDownMask and many of the other standard things
which make screen savers go bye bye.  The only one I cannot get is
MouseMoved.  There is no provision for this in the toolbox that I have seen,
so how do I trap this event?  Is it as simple as GetMouse each time through
the loop with a comparison to where the Mouse was last, or is there another
way?

Also: This is being set up as an INIT/CDEV.  Exactly how do I structure the
loop which counts idle time/waits for the mouse to go into the magic corner,
so that all other system events run around me.  I saw the LSC Init code here
but am writing this in LSPascal so it was not much help (my knowledge of C
is rather small at this time).

Thanks for any help!

Wafna!
