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?
