1. What is Power Batch ?
---------------------
MouseKey allows you to emulate the cursor keys with your mouse. Once
MouseKey is loaded, just move it to trigger the keyboard. MouseKey is
very useful when you have to scroll thru an entire text file in an
editor.
2. System requirements
-------------------
To use MouseKey, you will need a 8088 based PC, DOS 2.0 or higher, a
mouse and a Microsoft compatible mouse driver. You will also need 464
bytes avalaible in memory.
3. Using MouseKey
--------------
To use MouseKey, you just need to move your mouse to emulate the cursor
keys. With MouseKey, you choose the scrolling speed just by moving the
mouse faster or slower.
4. Command line options
--------------------
All command line options can be browsed at DOS command line by typing
one of the following commands:
MOUSEKEY -?
MOUSEKEY -H
'H' stands for 'Help'. Case in option specification is not important,
as MouseKey checks for both upper and lower case characters. To remove
MouseKey from memory, use the 'U' switch:
MOUSEKEY -U
'U' stands for 'Unload'. MouseKey will not be present until you load it
again. If you want to change the default hotkey for enabling and
desabling MouseKey, you may use the 'K' option, as shown below:
MOUSEKEY -K CONTROL ALT SPACEBAR
'K' stands for 'hotKey'. This command line will trigger the enabling
and disabling command whenever you press the given key combination.
This is the template for using this switch. You first give the mask
for the hotkey you want, after the letter 'K'. This mask can be any
combination of the following key names: control, alt, leftshift,
rightshift. You may specify any of them in any order, even none of
them. But beware not being in conflict with another program that
would use the same key combination. If you choose a null mask, that is
if you don't give any of these four symbols, MouseKey will trigger any
time you press this key, so it is likely to trigger even when you don't
want it, if you are to use this key for another purpose. Giving one or
more mask keys is wise. Once the mask is specified, give the key you
want to trigger MouseKey. You may give any of the keyboard keys but
the special keys, as the shifts, the scroll lock and num lock keys,
the system request key, the break key, the caps lock key, the control
key or the alt key. If the key you choose does not have an associated
character to be displayed, such as the page up key, or the escape key,
use the following table that gives you the word to use to designate
this key:
Function keys: F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8,
F9, F10, F11, F12
Arrow keys: up, down, left, right
Keypad special keys: Keypad/, Keypad*, Keypad-, Keypad+,
Keypad5
Other Keys: backspace, del, end, enter, esc, home,
ins, pgdn, pgup, prtsc, spacebar, tab
Know that some key combinations won't trigger MouseKey's keyboard
handler, as no scan code is sent from the keyboard, especially when
all status keys are pressed at the same time. Case is not significant.
You may enter these symbols in upper or lower case, MouseKey will
accept both.
5. Troubleshooting
---------------
These are some problems you may encounter running MouseKey, with
explanations and/or ways to prevent these problems. If you have any
problems, read thoroughly this section, you may find the solution.
