= SUMMARY =

There is no support for a graphics mouse cursor in 30, 34, or 60 line graphics modes when running Word in the Compatibility Box of OS/2 on a system with a VGA video card.

The graphics mouse cursor appears in 25 and 43 line graphics modes only.

To achieve graphics support in the Compatibility Box, the OS/2 file, EGA.SYS, must be installed in the CONFIG.SYS file of OS/2. If EGA.SYS is not installed, clicking the mouse in graphics mode may cause the system to halt, requiring the system to be turned off, then back on to continue working.
