    What values am I scaling down the values passed to the interrupt or the   
   values I calculate after I got all three bytes?

   I'm only using text mode at the moment as a test case.  The plan is to only   
   have the mouse in graphics mode eventually.  I didn't think of using AND,   
   would I do something like "and [mouse_x], 319" and would that also work if the   
   value is negative so it    
   will stay at zero?
