Well, thanks to the gracious help of the posters of this ng, I have a real
problem ;-).

I am using Allegro, trying to make a circle at the point the cursor is when
the left button is pressed.  I used show_mouse(NULL); before I drew and get
no droppings, but I have a diff. problem.  If I drag the mouse, even
slightly, I get a long drag line from the dot.  

REAL QUESTION: Is there a way to lock the cursor or prevent the user from
being able to move the dot?
Do you get the question? I want the user to just be able to draw one circle
at a time, then I clear the screen and the process restarts.  If you don't
get the question, reply & I will post the code.

BTW Thanks again to everyone who helped me get Allegro & DJGPP started!!
:-)
