  113.            either MouseThreshold1 or MouseThreshold2 is
  114.            exceeded. When this occurs, Windows causes cursor
  115.            movement to accelerate according to the value of
  116.            MouseSpeed. If it is 0, there is no acceleration.
  117.            If it is 1, the cursor is moved twice the normal
  118.            speed when mouse movement exceeds the value of
  119.            MouseThreshold1. If it is 2, the cursor is moved
  120.            twice the normal speed when mouse movement
  121.            exceeds the value of MouseThreshold1 or four
  122.            times the normal speed if mouse movement exceeds

  128.   Purpose: Establishes the maximum number of pixels that
  129.            the mouse can move between mouse interrupts
  130.            before Windows alters the relationship between
  131.            mouse movement and cursor movement. If the mouse
  132.            movement exceeds this threshold and MouseSpeed is
  133.            greater than zero, Windows moves the cursor at
  134.            twice the normal speed.
  135. To change: Choose the Mouse icon from the Control Panel.

  141.            before Windows alters the relationship between
  142.            mouse movement and cursor movement. If the mouse
  143.            movement exceeds this threshold and MouseSpeed is
  144.            equal to 2, Windows moves the cursor at four
  145.            times the normal speed.
  146. To change: Choose the Mouse icon from the Control Panel.
  147. ····························································
  148. NetWarn=<0-or-1>
  149.   Default: 1
  150.   Purpose: Specifies whether Windows should display a
  151.            warning message if your system is configured to
  152.            run a network and the network is not running or
  153.            the wrong network is running. All Windows
  154.            network-related options will be disabled if the
  155.            network is disabled or incorrect. Setting this
  156.            value to 0 will disable the warning message.
  157. To change: Choose the Network icon from the Control Panel.

  562. ····························································
  563. <portname>:=<baud-rate>,<parity>,<word-length>,<stop-bits>
  564.               [[,p]]
  565.  
  566.   Purpose: Specifies an available output port.
  567.  
  568.            The <portname> keyname must be the name of an
  569.            output port as it is recognized by MS-DOS. This
  570.            keyname can be COMx: (communications port, where
  571.            x represents the port number), LPTx: (a parallel
  572.            port, where x represents the port number), EPT:
  573.            (used for a specific IBM printer), LPTx.OS2 (a
  574.            parallel port used with OS/2, where x represents
  575.            the port number), FILE:, or a filename.
  576.            For COM ports, the <baud-rate> value specifies
  577.            the port's baud rate; the <word-length> value
  578.            gives the length of a word (in bits); the
  579.            <stop-bits> value gives the number of stop bits
  580.            to be used; and the [[,p]] option specifies that
  581.            hardware handshaking is in effect.
  582.  
  583.            LPT (parallel), EPT, FILE, and LPTx.OS2 ports do
  584.            not take any parameters.
  585.            The LPTx.OS2 ports are used (instead of the
  586.            corresponding LPT port) when you are running
  587.            Windows in the DOS compatibility box of OS/2.
  588.            This port bypasses the Windows' special output
  589.            handling.
  590.            Specifying a filename for the <portname> will
  591.            direct output to that file. A filename, unlike
  592.            the other port names, must not be followed by a
  593.            colon (:).
  594.  
  595.            By using FILE:=, Windows will prompt you to
  596.            specify an output file at output time.
