[Oberon] PO2013 - Oberon mouse location

[Jörg]

Input.Mod (as is) is unfortunately not prepared to re-play neither keyboard
strokes nor mouse movements.
Re-play functionality would allow to remote-control the Oberon system.
Implementing a hook in Input.Mod to do so would be possible....

Interesting ...

Another example of the system moving the mouse for you is the Windows
(Additional) mouse option > Pointer Options > Snap To 

If you tick that checkbox, whenever a dialog box pops up, the mouse pointer
automatically moves to the default button in the box.
