Art,

There are a few ways to do this.  You can look at the fitts law/aimed
movement task, or the 'hunt.pbl' task in demos for some examples.

Essentially, you give the command

out <- GetMouseCursorPosition()

which returns a list containing the x,y coordinates, relative to the window.


You can use GetMouseState(), which also returns the state of the mouse
buttons.



Depending on issues like the driver and operating system, you may need to
issue a Draw() command prior to this to make sure the mouse position is
accurate.  This was true in the 0.14 days; it might not be necessary
anymore, but I haven't tried it out completely.
