 Note : some mouse card uses 65C02 instruction set.  So enhanced IIe is better.

 Software using mouse detects the mouse automatically.  Using in BASIC needs the
 lines like:
	10 D$=CHR$(4):? D$;"PR#4": ? CHR$(1) : REM activate mouse
	20 ? D$;"PR#0"
	30 ? D$;"IN#4"
	40 INPUT "";X,Y,S
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   Then X,Y is the location. S is the button status (-ve if key pending).
