- !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.)
