Get PRCP.INF and look up the Mou functions.  Here's an untested sample from
the MS OS/2 1.x reference:


 #define INCL_SUB
 #include 

 NOPTRRECT mourt = { 0, 0, 24, 79 };

 main( )
 {
     CHAR ch;
     KBDKEYINFO kbci;
     HMOU hmou;
     MOUEVENTINFO mouev;
     USHORT fWait = MOU_NOWAIT;

     ch = ' ';
     VioWrtNChar(&ch, 2000, 0, 0, 0);
     ch = 'A';

     MouOpen(0L, &hmou);
     MouDrawPtr(hmou);

     do {
         MouReadEventQue(&mouev, &fWait, hmou);
         if (mouev.time) {
             if (mouev.fs & MOUSE_BN1_DOWN) { /* is 1st button down? */
                 MouRemovePtr(&mourt, hmou);
                 VioWrtNChar(&ch, 1, mouev.row, mouev.col, 0);
                 MouDrawPtr(hmou);
             }
         }
         KbdCharIn(&kbci, IO_NOWAIT, 0);
     } while (kbci.chChar != 'Q');

     MouClose(hmou);
 }
