Q41087: Mouse and Lotus 1-2-3 Mouse Menu Under Windows/286

Article: Q41087

To run Lotus 1-2-3 and the Mouse Menu for Lotus under Windows, the
123.PIF file included with Windows must be edited. The key point to
note is that under the "Directly Modifies" option of the PIF file the
check boxes for both Screen and Memory must be turned on. Add any
parameters or set the initial directory if necessary. Save these
changes so you will not have to repeat them again.

After the 123.PIF file is correctly configured, load the Mouse and
Menu in memory as you normally would before going into Lotus 1-2-3.
Bring up Lotus 1-2-3 within Windows and the Menu should function
correctly. If not, reboot the system from the original floppy DOS disk
to make sure nothing else in memory is interfering, then load the
mouse and menu into memory.
