What is PC Mouse?PC Mouse combines an optical mouse with pop-up menu software to allow you to quickly and
easily move the cursor and select commands without using the keyboard.
What will PC Mouse do for me?PC Mouse will make almost all of your software easier to learn and use. Since it allows you to
rapidly position the cursor on the screen, you don't have to memorize all sorts of strange commandsequences to move around in a spreadsheet or text document. Since PC Mouse supports a "pop-up" menu style of interaction, many commands can be issued without typing and without using thekeyboard. Commands are selected from a list, so memorization of complicated command codesas well as "typos" are eliminated.
What are Pop-up menus?The latest PC Mouse software is called Pop-up menu software. Unlike fixed menus, pop-up
menus appear on the screen when needed, and disappear when the desired command isselected. The pop-up menus are completely transparent to the underlying program. The menustake up no screen space except when they are actually being used. Since the same pop-up menustyle of interaction is used with all programs, you are presented with a consistent user interfaceacross all applications. To date, MSC has developed pop-up menus for:
Lotus 1-2-3 WordStarVisiCalc Personal EditorMultiplan Volkswriter
Why should I use PC Mouse with Lotus 1-2-3?Pop-up-menu software makes Lotus 1 -2-3 easy to learn and fast to use. You'll like the way you
can move around in your spreadsheet with PC Mouse in your left hand while entering numericaldata with your right hand. Buttons two and three can be used for extra speed. PC Mouse softwareis automatically installed during "boot-up" and fits on your Lotus 1 -2-3System disk.
Is PC Mouse difficult to install?No. All necessary hardware is supplied by Mouse Systems. Simply plug one end of the RJ11C
cable into the interface box, and the other end into the RS232C (COM1) port of your PC. After ashort calibration routine, PC Mouse is ready to use. PC Mouse software can be installed on yourprogram disk using a one line installation procedure. The software uses less than 10K of diskspace.
