I do that myself in MGIF, but...

...there is no legal way for the AES to set the mouse position,
since the VDI does not provide that functionality.

Obviously, the original AES knew enough about the internals of the
original VDI to make this work, anyway. Whatever that knowledge was,
it will most likely stop working with fVDI in the not too distant
future (fVDI still relies on the original VDI for mouse and keyboard
handling).

So, XaAES can currently not legally move the mouse about, and thus
can not (legally) implement that part of appl_tplay.
I'll probably add a new VDI call in fVDI to accomplish this, however.
