This document describes the design and structure of a mouse
manager.  The purpose of this manager is to open channels to
mouse servers and collect and distribute events to registered
tasks.  This type of task is needed because opens to mouse
servers are stacked, i.e, the second open masks the first from
receiving events.  Having a central mouse manager prevents
this problem by making one task open all the channels to the
mouse servers.

Using the mouse manager, programs could be written to accept
mouse events from multiple users.  In the future, I hope to be
able to write applications (games!) in which two or more users
could work in the same program simultaneously, by distributing
their mouse (later keyboard) events (multi-user applications).
