Look at the event loops used to program the GS.  I've done some event loop
programming on the Mac.  Essentially it's just a while loop that checks the
keyboard and then the mouse.  When something happens it just calls the mouse
or keyboard routine.  REAL simple to do this part.  Good luck on figureing
out what's going on with the mouse.  You'll find a lot of the code and
algorithms already developed for the GS and the Mac.  Look into those
sources for info on how it's done.
