Yoav,  
  
SetMouse should set the mouse pointer position, but it isn't included in the  
Psychtoolbox for Windows yet.  
  
At the moment I'm working on GetChar problems, but when I get a chance I'll  
implement SetMouse and post it here for you in advance of the next release of  
the Psychtoolbox, which I expect to be in July.

Yoav,  
  
I've written a Windows version of SetMouse. I have also updated the setmouse.m  
help file to explain differences between the Windows and Mac versions of  
SetMouse. Both files are in a zip compressed folder attached to this message.  
  
I've tested SetMouse only on Matlab 6 running under Windows 2000 with Service  
Pack 1, but I expect it to work with other versions of Windows and Matlab.
