Well, the "cutemouse.txt" explains how to load/start the program with all it's options. However, you are in a somewhat special/borderline situation... >'forDOS' >indicates that my WordPerfect is a DOS program. >I can however, and do, use it in WinXP; >in fact it even works in Win7. So you actually meant "WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS"? Well, the first version of WordPerfect for Windows was 5.2, so that would have been obvious, beside that WP5.2 for Windows was a beast in itself, with WP6.x not much better and a finally stable Windows version not out until WP7.1, way to late to catch up on Microsoft Office/Word... I am not sure about Windows 7, for a client of mine we could not get it to work (but then this was unfortunately also a 64bit version and WP wouldn't run in DOSBox either) and it was a PITA to get it even work properly under Windows XP (SP3, 32bit). Most people that use WP5.1 still (or did until recently) do so for the fact that they are not "mouse incumbered" and can work quicker with the keyboard only. Now that I come to think of it, I am not even sure if a stock WordPerfect 5.1 even is "mouse aware" to begin with (even under plain DOS). >When I searched for DOS-driver for mouse >Cutemouse was one of the few results I got >so I though I would investigate >hoping that it might be applicable. > >I would REALLY like to get that feature of mouse operation >enabled in WordPerfect. The mouse support of Windows should be accessible in a DOS prompt as well. At least it works for the few DOS programs that use the mouse and I am using myself under Windows XP (which is my main OS at work). WordPerfect however has always been a bit "out of the ordinary", so it's possible that it doesn't like something how Windows is providing the INT33h API in a DOS box. I will play with this a bit later today and let you know what I come up with... Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.
