    ^1MouseIt!^0 is a memory-resident (TSR) utility that allows you to use your 
 mouse in programs that don't include built-in mouse support.  While software 
 designed to use the mouse can take better advantage of its capabilities, 
 MouseIt! can significantly enhance programs otherwise restricted to keyboard 
 input. 
 

 Using MouseIt!
 --------------

    Once you run MouseIt!, it is loaded into memory and becomes immediately  
 active.  Simultaneously press 
 
^C^1<CTRL>-<ALT>-<M>^0

 to access the program's configuration menu.  MouseIt! provides three 
 options:

^C^1C^0hange the Keys^N
^C^1E^0nable MouseIt ^N
^C^1D^0isable MouseIt^N

 Press ^1C^0, ^1E^0, or ^1D^0 to select the desired action.


 Change the Keys
 ---------------

    MouseIt! works by replacing a mouse movement or button press with a 
 corresponding keystroke that you define.  For instance, you might want the 
 cursor to move left every time you move your mouse to the left or you might
 want the right button press to be interpreted as an <ENTER> key.  The ^1Change 
 ^1the Keys^0 option allows you to assign these values. 

    Once you press ^1C^0, you are prompted for the keys corresponding to these 
 mouse actions:

^CMove mouse LEFT ^N
^CMove mouse RIGHT^N
^CMove mouse UP   ^N
^CMove mouse DOWN ^N
^CLeft button     ^N
^CRight button    ^N
^CBoth buttons    ^N

 As the cursor moves to each mouse action, press the key you want assigned to 
 that action.  For example, when you are prompted for the corresponding action 
 to ^1Move mouse LEFT^0, you might press the ^1LEFT^0 cursor key.  From this 
 point forward, any time you move the mouse to the left the cursor will move 
 to the left.  MouseIt! starts with the following configuration: 

^CMove mouse LEFT  : LEFT Cursor Key ^N
^CMove mouse RIGHT : RIGHT Cursor Key^N
^CMove mouse UP    : UP Cursor Key   ^N
^CMove mouse DOWN  : DOWN Cursor Key ^N
^CLeft button      : ENTER           ^N
^CRight button     : ESC             ^N
^CBoth buttons     : F1              ^N


 Enable & Disable MouseIt!
 -------------------------

    MouseIt! is excellent for programs that do not incorporate mouse support.  
 However, there are many programs that already include this feature.  Before 
 running one of these applications, you should activate the configuration menu 
 and ^1D^0isable MouseIt! first.  Once you have finished using the program, 
 simply ^1E^0nable MouseIt! again.

    What if I forget?  Don't worry, in most cases MouseIt! will automatically 
 be disabled.  Once you have finished the program, you would simply have to
 activate the configuration menu and enable it again.


 MouseIt! Anomalies
 ------------------

    Generally, MouseIt! will work fine with your system as long as your
 software mouse driver is compatible with the Microsoft mouse driver.  Most
 mouse drivers are Microsoft-compatible, so this should not present a problem.
 However, in some cases, MouseIt! will not be able to function unless it resets
 the mouse when it is initially loaded and each time it is enabled from the
 configuration menu.

    To accomodate for this rare problem, a mouse-reset option is available by
 running MouseIt! with the ^1/?^0 or ^1/I^0 parameters described below.  Most
 systems do NOT require the mouse resets.  This feature should be used ^1only if^0
 MouseIt! does not work correctly without it.

    The mouse resets are usually required only if you use software which 
 accesses your mouse in a non-standard manner.  The only identified cases
 requiring the mouse resets are IBM PS/2's running the IBM DOS 4.01 Shell.


 Command-line parameters
 -----------------------

    MouseIt! may be run from the DOS prompt with the following parameters:

              ^1/?^0 - displays a help screen with prompts to either load
                   or remove MouseIt!.  You may also enable the mouse-
                   reset option.

              ^1/R^0 - removes MouseIt! from memory.

              ^1/I^0 - loads MouseIt! with the mouse-reset option enabled or
                   enables the reset option if MouseIt! is already loaded.


 Removing MouseIt!
 -----------------

    Always use MouseIt!'s own remove feature or disable it from the
 configuration menu before you use any other TSR memory management program.
 If you load other memory resident programs after MouseIt!, then MouseIt!
 may not be able to remove itself from memory.  In this case MouseIt! will
 respond that it "cannot be removed at this time;" remove any memory resident
 programs loaded after MouseIt!, and then MouseIt! can be removed.
