[R] Returning position of mouse cursor (without button press) ?

[Derek N Eder]

I would like a function that return the X,Y position of the mouse cursor
whenever it is called PERIOD, i.e., without the button presses of locator()
or identify().

E.G.,
> where.is.mouse()
[1]  123   34  # X and Y coordinates of present mouse position in current
graphics window

Is this a conceivable R function or does it need to be addressed with a call
to the OS (Windows 2000 in my case)?

Thanks,

Derek
