I asked how GetMouse and other mouse routines work and lsr@Apple.COM (Larry
Rosenstein) replied (thanks, by the way):

This is what I was afraid of.  What I'm trying to figure out is how I can
"fake" mouse activity a la QuicKeys and others.  I had hoped that manipulating
the event queue would allow me to do this but no dice. What is the best or
easiest (take your pick) way to do this?
