- You have to have a PC window (either color or monochrome) open on the
- Workbench, and the mouse pointer has to be within that window for the
- keyboard entries to be sent to the Bridgeboard. Otherwise they're
- interpreted as being destined for the Amiga. If you're going to be
- working on the PC side for a while, I recommend putting the mouse pointer
- in the PC window then doing a left-Amiga P, since that will prevent the
- mouse pointer from moving on the Amiga side (if the Amiga-side Janus files
- are installed correctly).
