OTHER DOCUMENTATION:

Insert your PC Mouse diskette in drive A, and type:

	A>VIEW SUMMARY.TXT	for a summary of commands for mouse
				installation and use.

	A>VIEW CONTENTS.TXT	for a description of diskette contents.



SUGGESTED HARDWARE CONFIGURATION:

	2 double-sided double density floppy disk drives
	128K memory
	Asynchronous Communications Adapter



ATTACHING THE MOUSE:

Plug the mouse into any available COM port.  Plug in all cables.
See the PC Mouse Setup Guide for details.


GETTING STARTED:

Insert your DOS diskette in drive A and boot the system.  Then remove the DOS
diskette, and insert the PC Mouse diskette in drive A.  All of the
installation procedures assume that the PC Mouse diskette is in drive A, and
that drive A is the default drive.



TESTING THE MOUSE:

Insert PC Mouse disk in drive A, and type:

	A>TRACK

This program will enable you to determine the COM port you are attached to as
well as verifying proper mouse hardware installation and operation.


SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

To install mouse support on a program disk, type

	A>INSTALL

You will be prompted for all required information.

The installation procedure assumes that the PC Mouse diskette is in drive A
and the write enabled program diskette is in drive B.  Your program disk
should be made "bootable" before the installation.  If you have a single disk
drive, you must insert your program disk when the computer asks for drive B. 
If you are on a hard disk system, use the CHDIR command to establish the
destination directory on your hard disk as the "current directory" on that
drive before running the Install program.

The installation procedure copies several files onto the program disk.  It
will not delete any files.  If there is insufficient disk space (generally
less than 11K), the installation program will not complete.  In addition to
copying the appropriate mouse driver, it creates or replaces the files
MOUSEESYS.COM and MOUSE.BAT.  If you don't want to modify your program
diskette(s), see the section on the Two Stage Boot procedure.

If you are installing mouse support on Lotus 1-2-3 version 1.0, you should
delete the files CHKDSK.COM, DISKCOPY.COM, and DISKCOMP.COM in order to make
room for the mouse driver.  If you need to check, copy, or compare diskettes
while in Lotus, insert a regular DOS disk when the system asks you to insert
your LOTUS SYSTEM disk in drive A.  When one of these Disk Manager commands
has completed, replace the disk in drive A with the regular Lotus disk.



MAKING A BOOTABLE PC MOUSE DISK:

The PC Mouse diskette provided is in double-sided double density standard 1.1
DOS format.  You must copy all files over to a blank diskette formatted using
the /S parameter.



USAGE:

If the pop-up menu software is installed on a bootable program diskette, the
process of booting the disk will automatically load the mouse driver and run
the program.  If you exit to DOS after booting, you may use the "MOUSE"
command to enter the program.

All software is used exactly as before, except that you must type the word
"MOUSE" on the same command line as the program name, e.g., 

	A>MOUSE WS
  or	A>MOUSE WS filename

Note that the MOUSE command is NOT used with certain Microsoft mouse-driven
programs (e.g., Word).  See the information below on MSMOUSE driver usage.



USE OF POP-UP MENUS:

To bring up a menu, push one of the mouse buttons.  Then position the menu
cursor over the desired item, and press the same button a second time. The
menu can be canceled by moving the menu cursor (via the mouse) beyond the left
or right edge of the menu.  Another way to dismiss the menu is to select the
Exit Pop-up item at the bottom of the menu.

USE WITH SPREADSHEETS:

In most of the supported spreadsheets, the left button brings up a pop-up
menu, the middle button is the same as the [Enter] key on the keyboard and the
right button is the same as the [Esc] key.  Also, you must dismiss the pop-up
menu before using either the middle or right button.

USE WITH WORD PROCESSORS:

In most of the supported word processors, the left button brings up an Edit
pop-up menu, the middle button brings up a Motion pop-up menu, and right
button brings up a File pop-up menu.

USE WITH DBASE II:

The left button brings up a Main menu of commands, the middle button brings up
menus for full screen editing, and the right button brings up a File pop-up
menu.

DISABLING THE MOUSE DRIVER:

If you need to disable the pop-up menu driver at any time, you may type

	A>MOUSESYS /S



THE TWO STAGE BOOT PROCEDURE:

If you decide not to modify your existing program diskettes, you can use the
PC Mouse diskette as part of a two stage boot process.  First, you should make
your PC Mouse diskette bootable (See below).  The steps in the two stage boot
are as follows:

	1) Boot the PC Mouse diskette.
	2) Type "SETUP <Program Name>" to load the mouse driver.
	3) Replace the PC Mouse diskette with your program diskette.
	4) Use your program as usual.

For example, if you wanted to use the mouse with Lotus 1-2-3, you would type
"SETUP LOTUS" after booting the PC Mouse diskette, and then type "LOTUS" after
loading your Lotus program diskette.  See the PC Mouse Setup Guide for use of
the SETUP command if your mouse is on COM2:.


CREATING YOUR OWN POP-UP MENUS:

The easiest way to create your own pop-up menus is to start from an existing
configuration file (.MSC suffix).  Copy:

	MSC.EXE
	MOUSESYS.COM
	SETUP.BAT

onto a disk with the appropriate .MSC data file.  Use a text editor to edit
the .MSC file.  Then invoke MSC and SETUP to try out the menu.  For example,
if you have just finished editing M_LOTUS.MSC, you would type:

	A>MSC M_LOTUS		to compile the menus into a .COM file
	A>SETUP LOTUS		to load the new definitions into memory

When you are satisfied the menu works as desired, copy the .COM file generated
by the compiler, MOUSESYS.COM, and edited version of AUTOEXEC.BAT and
MOUSE.BAT to reflect the proper program name and COM port (you can start with
the AUTOEXEC.TXT and MOUSE.TXT files on the PC Mouse disk).


MSMOUSE (MICROSOFT MOUSE EMULATION) DRIVER:

The MSMOUSE driver and libraries included on this disk allow you to use your
mouse with all software written for the Microsoft mouse.  To install the
driver on you diskette, use the INSTALL command.  If you don't want to modify
your diskette or you did not specify an AUTOEXEC file during the INSTALL
program, type:

	A>MSMOUSE /1		for standard COM1: configuration
or	A>MSMOUSE /2		for standard COM2: configuration
or	A>MSMOUSE /D		for Davong COM2: configuration

depending on the port determined by running the TRACK program.  You need only
type this in once after booting your system.

If you are using DOS 2.00, you may wish to use the "Installable Device driver"
form of MSMOUSE.  Instead of the above procedure, add the statement:

	DEVICE=MSMOUSE.SYS /1

to your CONFIG.SYS file (/1 should be replaced with the appropriate COM port
parameter if your mouse isn't on COM1:).

Note: Microsoft's documented procedure for locating the mouse driver is
incorrect.  If you get the message "Mouse driver not found" while trying to
run a program that uses the MSMOUSE driver, you should rearrange the order of
your device drivers to insure that the mouse driver is loaded before other
drivers.



MSMOUSE INTERFACE LIBRARY:

Included on the PC Mouse diskette is MSMOUSE.LIB, a subroutine library
providing access to the Microsoft compatible mouse driver from high-level
programming languages.   MSMOUSE.LIB contains all of the functions of
Microsoft's MOUSE.LIB (described in the July, 1983 issue of Byte magazine). 
In addition to the interfaces that Microsoft provides for compiled COBOL,
FORTRAN, Pascal, and BASIC language programs, we supply an interface for
Microsoft 'C' and Lattice 'C'.  With MSMOUSE.LIB, we also support the use of
the middle mouse button.  Contact Mouse Systems Corporation for additional
documentation regarding use of MSMOUSE and MSMOUSE.LIB.
