Is there a way to directly read the pointer position [take the example
of a screen saver program which is displaying a screen saver module
(external program) but needs to monitor the mouse to see if it's been
moved in order to to restore the screen] which is compatible across
all or most platforms. Reading the QIMI registers will obviously only
work in QIMI systems! Cuedark and a screen saver program from Thierry
seem to do this but no documentation. The Jonathan Hudson Qeyes
program also seems to allow a program to monitor pointer position [to
position its own 'eyes] without affecting the currently active job.
The kind of info we need to make public I think. Sadly, when trying to
write some types of software for the QL, much of the time is spent
trying to find the answers to such questions and it doesn't even exist
in official documentation!
