6) HOW DO I USE THE MOUSE IN QB?
   The most common (and most universal) approach is through
   INTERRUPTs.  Using INTERRUPT 33h, the following code will allow
   you to use a mouse in your programs.  Code by David Aukerman
   with the idea for limited mouse movement by Dave Shea.  Public
   domain; use at your own risk!
[begin]
   '$INCLUDE: 'qb.bi'   'these three lines go at the
   DEFINT A-Z           'beginning of your program..
   DIM SHARED HMin, HMax, VMin, VMax      'horiz. and vert. limits
