Forget it. These functions have been provided for mouse handling in MS-DOS applications. While these functions _may_ work under Windows, it's extremely bad style to use Turbo C/C++ under Windows. There have been numerous discussions about the reasons, so here's a very short excerpt of the main reasons: - Both compilers have been written for a different OS twenty years ago, they simply don't fit the Windows world. - They both do not understand correct (i.e. ANSI compliant) code. Get rid of these compilers, except if you intend to write MS-DOS applications (and even I don't see any reason to do so nowadays). In the Links section of this group you will find a couple of download links for Windows compliant compilers; use one of these. And furthermore, if you're really interested in Windows programming, get a copy of Charles Petzold, Programming Windows; expensive but worth every cent. Regards, Nico
