okay, a few days ago i posted a message here.  i got all the answers i needed
(thanks) and no errors were genertated while it was compiling (so far so good)
then when i ran it and clicked my left mouse button (the event I am trying to
trap)... it generated and annoying win95 error and quit.  i tried running it in
dos and it froze all thogether. 

i think this is because i am setting a bad vector so that the mouse calls a bad
reference on the event.... am i right? and does anyone know why this is
occuring?

  return (r.x.flags & 1) ? -1 : 0;

    cout << i << endl;
  }

  cin >> dummy;
}
