I received the same suggestion from two sources on how to get my mouse
going.  Thanks to root@radier (Bob Reineri) and jbayer@ispi (John Bayer).
The set up goes like this:

1) use all SCO utilities to install mouse
2) boot DOS
3) run a program to use the mouse (such as the INSTALL program that comes
   with the mouse)
4) warm-boot Xenix (i.e. hit Cntl-Alt-Del)
5) Xenix should now show a mouse device during the boot messages

If the power goes off, or you need to do a cold-boot (i.e. push reset button),
repeat steps 2 - 5.

This is still only a partial solution.  Hopefully, a more robust solution
will be forthcoming.  SCO has received my e-mail and is working on it.
