Questions and Answers to Two Common Problems
Q: "I use a mouse all the time in Windows, but this program tells me that my
mouse isn't connected."
A: Windows talks with the mouse directly, but nearly all DOS programs
communicate with the mouse through a mouse driver called MOUSE.SYS or
MOUSE.COM. Typically, the CONFIG.SYS file should contain a line more or
less reading like this:
DEVICE=C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.SYS
Alternatively, MOUSE.COM should be referred to in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Have a person who is experienced in modifying these files install the
mouse driver.
Q: "I keep getting a MISSING/INDISTINCT BEND OR HOOK message."
A: A hook represents a distinct flick of the brush with an abrupt change of
direction. The last stroke of the character 'ye' (also, still, even) in
Lesson 1 is a typical case in point. This stroke goes down, across, and
then should abruptly flick upwards with a sharp angle.
