Subject: What is a "moused"?

The subject's saying it all. Perhaps this is somewhere in docs, but I've
never found that place. So would anybody please explain what this
"moused" daemon is? Is it in any way like to Linux' gpm? And what is the
use for this daemon (and how to use it)? Sorry but manpage seems to be a
bit obscure on this subject and (unfortunately) I'm no expert in FBSD
code.

Thanks.		Vladimir.
