The default Expert Mouse menu allows you to use a mouse to emulate
keys, such as the ESCAPE, ENTER, and cursor keys, with applications
that normally do not support mice.

   To use this menu, load it into memory before you start your
application.
   To load the default menu, type the following after the prompt of
the drive or directory where the DEFAULT.COM file resides:

   default

   Once the default menu is loaded, you can perform the mouse actions
described in the following tables to emulate certain keys in your
application:

                 Press                     To Emulate

                 The left mouse button     The F3 key
                 The right mouse button    A carriage return (the ENTER key)
                 Both mouse buttons        The ESCAPE key

                 Move                      To emulate

                 The mouse to the left     The LEFT ARROW key
                 The mouse to the right    The RIGHT ARROW key
                 The mouse up              The UP ARROW key
                 The mouse down            The DOWN ARROW key

   To remove the default menu from memory, type the following after
the prompt of the drive or directory where the DEFAULT.COM file
resides:

                 default off
