So maybe the mouseLoc is discouraged, or maybe it has just been running with the wrong crowd.

A brief history: Long ago and once upon a time, Scott Raney used to admonish us not to tie up the CPU with unnecessary mouse polling. It came up often enough that I wrote it up and posted it at my web site. Now he just points people there instead. ;)

So what is so bad about using it then, except for using it in a loop?

I guess it's the loop that causes the tieup using it, which can be done away
with by the 'send in time' routines. Is this true?


The send-in-time allows other things to be going on at the same time.

Right, that's pretty much the crux of it.
