-
- This archive contains a Mouse Menu for use with Nat
- Martino's Directory Scanner, Ver 3.00. Included here are three
- files: MS_MOUSE.DEF, the source code; MS_MOUSE.MNU, the compiled
- version; MS_MOUSE.BAT, a sample batch file, and this MS_MOUSE.TXT
- file. The program is written for the IBM PC family of machines
- and compatibles. The mouse menu will work with the standard
- eighty columns by twenty-five lines display; it will not (as yet)
- work with the forty-three lines EGA display.
-
- Installation
-
- The program is installed through use of the MENU.COM file
- that is supplied with the Microsoft Mouse. The proper command
- is: "MENU MS_MOUSE". Once installed, you will see the message:
- "Menu installed". You may want to include this command in a
- batch file, or add it as a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. A
- sample batch file, MS_MOUSE.BAT, is included in this archive.
-
- Pop-Up Menus
-
- Once DS is up and running, you may click both of the mouse
- buttons to display the main pop-up menu. The main pop-up menu is
- MOUSE MENU. From it, you may select the FILE MENU, the DIRECTORY
- MENU, the DRIVE MENU, the SCREEN MENU, the MACROS MENU, or the
- DIRECTORY LINKS MENU. The MOUSE MENU also provides access to:
- (a) the context sensitive help provided by DS, (b) to MOUSE HELP,
- a screen that explains operation of the mouse, and to (c) the
- Editor/Lister change option. Two commands may be selected from
- the MOUSE MENU: "Key Commands" will display the available key
- commands, and "Program Limits" will display the limits of the
- DS program.
-
- Each pop-up menu contains a Cancel Menu selection; when
- this selection is highlighted, clicking either mouse button will
- cancel the menu. Moving the mouse will highlight the remaining
- selections, and clicking either mouse button will execute the
- command selected.
-
- Directory Movement
-
- Clicking the left mouse button will move the directory
- highlighter up one directory; clicking the right mouse button
- will move the directory highlighter down one directory. Moving
- the mouse up or down when the directory modification option has
- been selected will move the directory highlighter in the same
- direction that the mouse is moved. Other commands for movement
- along the directory tree may be accessed from the DIRECTORY MENU.
-
- Arrow Keys
-
- Moving the mouse left, right, up, or down will move the
- cursor left, right, up, or down among the files displayed on
- the right of the DS screen. Moving the mouse up or down will
- move the highlight bar in the same direction that the mouse is
- moved when the display/change directory-number links,
- Editor/Lister change, or macros display/change options are
- selected. In addition, moving the mouse will scroll the text
- displayed (in the same direction that the mouse is moved) when
- the "View" command is selected from the FILES MENU. This
- assumes, of course, that you are a proud licensee of Vernon D.
- Buerg's LIST.COM. DS is designed to work with LIST.COM in the
- path set by your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- The Enter and Cancel Keys
-
- Once a command has been selected from a pop-up menu, the
- left and right buttons may be used to issue enter and cancel
- commands. In all of the DS displays, clicking the left mouse
- button will issue an enter, or CR command, and clicking the right
- mouse button will issue an ESC, or cancel, command. When the
- "View" command is selected from the FILES MENU, clicking the left
- mouse button will exit LIST.COM and return to DS.
