SYMPTOMS
User-written Microsoft Mouse menus that worked correctly under MS-DOS version 3.x may not work with later MS-DOS versions.



CAUSE
MenuMaker is not compatible with the extended key codes that can be loaded by ANSI.SYS.



WORKAROUND
To allow Microsoft Mouse menus software to function correctly under later MS-DOS versions, be sure to load ANSI.SYS with the /K switch.The /K switch forces ANSI.SYS to ignore extended keys.
