!Help for !MouseOff
MouseOff is a 164-byte module which disables the Mouse module
when the screen blanks. This prevents accidental movement of
the mouse restoring the screen display.
When the Mouse module is inactive, the only way to restore
the display (end the blanking) is to press a key. Preferably
this should be a key which will have no untoward effect, such
as Ctrl or Alt.
Restoring the display causes MouseOff to re-init the Mouse
Module.
To Test
=======
Double-clicking on !MouseOff will install the module for
testing. Then press F12 and type
*BlankTime 10[RETURN]
[RETURN]
Wait 10 seconds or so. The screen will blank but moving the
mouse shouldn't restore it. Now press a key such as Ctrl or
Alt. The screen display will be restored.
(Now press F12 and type in the seconds BlankTime you
wish to have as standard.)
Auto-Run
========
Copy !MouseOff into !Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk or some other
boot up directory which will ensure that !MouseOff is run
when the computer starts up.
Removing MouseOff
=================
Press F12 and type
*RMKill MouseOff[RETURN]
[RETURN]
(Note: you cannot do this while the screen is blanked, so
there is no danger of not being able to recover the display.)
