Lines: 12 References: I have probably one of the stupider questions of the year, but am having a difficult time finding the answer. All I am trying to do is to read a mouse. It is a Kraft mouse and sits on com2. The docs said it sends its info to the 'standard input'. I tried reading from stdin (both PC compatible and 386 compilers), and no joy. I have a golf program that normally works using the arrow keys, and it is able to access the mouse without a problem, which leads me to believe there is indeed some standard place to read it from. Where? Help? geoff sherwood
