In the first screen of exmouse: Move your mouse to the edge of the 
window, such that the mouse_x,y values stop changing, e.g. at 319,199.  
If you keep pushing at the edge of the screen, the mouse mickey values 
are supposed to keep changing and the mouse cursor remains trapped 
inside the window.

(Of course, if you move your mouse fast enough, the cursor *can* escape 
the window.)
