Short: Choose actions on state of mouse
Uploader: mebby@enterprise.net (Michael Griggs)
Author: mebby@enterprise.net (Michael Griggs)
Type: util/boot
Requires: OS 1.3
Distribution: Aminet
Mouse allows you to execute different startup sequences depending on which
mouse buttons are held down. The program simply returns different codes in
the RC environment variable:
Button | RC
-------------
Left 5
Right 10
Both 20
None 0
By using "IF" statements in your startup-sequence, you can choose different
actions. For example, if I hold down my left-mouse button during boot-up,
a small menu appears allowing me to choose a small selection of programs.
If I hold nothing down, my normal startup-sequence is executed.
