- This problem is most known to those using WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS in a
- window. In that case it can be fixed (not fully) by setting the mouse
- acceleration factor in WP to 1. Then the WP mouse should be calibrated
- by moving the windowcursor from the middle of the window and out beyond the
- borders. I hope you can change the acceleration factor settings in you
- application! If not -- run it fullscreen!

- Note: Probably it was me that first suggested the mouse feature to MicroSoft.
- If there are others out there who also did the same, please mail me!
- I have NOT got any reply from MS, so i wonder if they do acknowledge
- any letters sent to them? Anyway, my latest letter told them to
- include, among other things, an windows application that could
- simulate mouse operations on a DOS application (ie. demonstrate
- menus or even draw images from the clipboard using an DOS application!
