           We find that cursor control is more precise with keyboard
         input than with a mouse, mainly because we can count key
         presses. Nevertheless, you can use a mouse with PictureThis
         if you want.
           Included on one of the PictureThis distribution disks are
         two text files for defining Logitech mouse functions:
         PTLOGI3B.DEF and PTLOGI2B.DEF. If you have a recent-vintage
         Logitech mouse, you also should have Logitech Plus software,
         including two files called NEWMENU.EXE and MENU.COM. Refer to
         your Logitech Mouse User's Manual for instructions on how to
         create a menu file from PTLOGI3B.DEF or PTLOGI2B.DEF (perhaps
         modified by you) by using NEWMENU.EXE, and on how to load the
         menu file by using MENU.COM. Also included on a PictureThis
         distribution disk are the menu files corresponding to each
         definition file: PTLOGI3B.MNU and PTLOGI2B.MNU; either menu
         file can be loaded (provided you have already loaded your
         mouse driver) by using MENU.COM.
           What's the difference between PTLOGI3B.* and PTLOGI2B.*?
         The former is for a three-button mouse, and the latter is for
         a two-button mouse, although both can be used with a three-
         button Logitech mouse. With very little effort, you should be
         able to use the PTLOGI2B.DEF file to make a menu file for a
         Microsoft mouse or a mouse which emulates either the Logitech
         or the Microsoft mouse -- for more details, consult your
         mouse manual.
           Both PTLOGI3B.* and PTLOGI2B.* translate horizontal mouse
         movements into horizontal cursor movements, and vertical
         mouse movements into vertical cursor movements.
           PTLOGI3B.* translates a press of the LEFT mouse key into
         function key F1 (set endpoint), a press of the MIDDLE mouse
         key into function key F2 (change control point), a press of
         the RIGHT mouse key into function key F3 (set curve), and a
         simultaneous press of ANY TWO OR ALL THREE mouse keys into
         ESC (back out of the current operation).
           PTLOGI2B.* translates a press of the LEFT mouse key into
         function key F1 (set endpoint), a press of the RIGHT mouse
         key into function key F2 (change control point), and (on a
         two-button mouse) a simultaneous press of BOTH mouse keys
         into function key F3 (set curve) or (on a three-button mouse)

         a press of the MIDDLE mouse key into function key F3 (set
         curve).
