Hello all,
I'm new here (mainly because my news program recently committed suicide).
I'm having a few probs with using a mouse in djgpp. I have a function

void mouse_abs_pos(int *x, int *y)
{
	union REGS regs;
	regs.x.ax = 0x03;
	int86(0x33, &regs, &regs);
	*x = regs.x.cx;
	*y = regs.x.dx;
	return 0;
}

but now I don't know how to actually get values for x and y. I also have a
function

{
	Plot_Pixel(a, b, colour);
}

And I want to plot a pixel at (a,b) where ever the mouse is on the screen. 
It simply doesn't work (I know the pixel plotting function works though). How
do I do this? The closest I've got is a memory error and then a quit. Thank
you, Christopher
