▌ Mouse ▐
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
┌─────────────┐ This is a typical
│ ┌─┐ ┌─┐ ┌─┐ │ three button mouse.
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ If you have a two
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ button mouse, any
│ └─┘ └─┘ └─┘ │ reference to the
│ │ middle button will
├─────────────┤ refer to pressing
│ │ the right and left
│ │ buttons at the same.
└─────────────┘
The function of each button is dependent upon
the position of the Arrow at the time the
button is pressed.

The Right Button
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
┌─────────────┐ Arrow is in a Text Pane:
│ ┌─┐ ┌─┐ ▄▄▄ │ Sets or changes the
│ │ │ │ │ ▌ ▐ │ Selection.
│ │ │ │ │ ▌ ▐ │ Arrow is in a Title Pane:
│ └─┘ └─┘ ▀▀▀ │ Text Pane is scrolled
│ │ left.
├─────────────┤ Arrow is in Scroll Pane:
│ │ Text Pane is scrolled
│ │ down.
└─────────────┘ Arrow is on background:
Selection is turned off.
The function of the mouse buttons are dupli-
cated on the keyboard via the following keys:
CTRL T──The Left Mouse Button
CTRL Y──The Middle Mouse Button
CTRL U──The Right Mouse Button
Pressing one of these keys once is like
pressing and holding down the associated
mouse button. A second press of the key
will release the mouse button. There are
two exceptions to this:
■ CTRL Y does not toggle when the
Arrow is in the Scroll Pane (performs
an absolute scroll).
■ CTRL T does not toggle when the
Arrow is in a Text Pane (places the
Cursor).
MOUSE INSTALLATION
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
WindE will work with any mouse that is
supplied with a Microsoft compatible mouse
driver:
■ Microsoft and Logitech refer to their
drivers as mouse.com.
■ Mouse Systems and Imsi refer to their
drivers as msmouse.com.
To load these drivers, while at the DOS
prompt enter (or place in your AUTOEXEC.BAT):
mouse ┘ if you only have one port
mouse /1 ┘ to use COM1:
mouse /2 ┘ to use COM2:
where ┘ refers to the Enter key.
If your mouse is only supplied with an
external device driver (mouse.sys) or if you
just prefer to use an external driver, the
following line must be entered in the
CONFIG.SYS file of your boot disk(ette):
device=[drive:][path]mouse.sys[/1][/2]
where everything in brackets is optional.
In either case be sure to read the documen-
tation supplied by the mouse manufacturer
before trying to use a mouse with WindE.
