Example code in SmallBasicOE:

' Display the current mouse X and Y coordinates
TextWindow.WriteLine("Initial Mouse X: " + Mouse.MouseX)
TextWindow.WriteLine("Initial Mouse Y: " + Mouse.MouseY)

' Set new mouse X and Y coordinates
TextWindow.WriteLine("Setting mouse X to 600 and Y to 400...")
Mouse.MouseX = 600 ' Setting the mouse X coordinate
Mouse.MouseY = 400 ' Setting the mouse Y coordinate

' Verify the updated mouse coordinates
TextWindow.WriteLine("Updated Mouse X: " + Mouse.MouseX)
TextWindow.WriteLine("Updated Mouse Y: " + Mouse.MouseY)

' Hide the mouse cursor
TextWindow.WriteLine("Hiding the mouse cursor for 3 seconds...")
Mouse.HideCursor()
Program.Sleep(3)

' Show the mouse cursor
TextWindow.WriteLine("Showing the mouse cursor again.")
Mouse.ShowCursor()
