SUMMARY
To use a Microsoft Mouse in FoxBASE+ running FoxBASE Central, create a batch file that performs the following tasks:


 * Load the MS-DOS mouse driver and specify the desired mouse sensitivity (the mouse is very sensitive in FoxBASE+)
 * Load the default mouse menus provided with FoxBASE+
 * Load FoxBASE+



MORE INFORMATION
The text below details the steps to use a mouse with FoxBASE Central:

 At the MS-DOS prompt, enter the following commands to create a START.BAT batch file in the C:\FOXBASE directory:

CD C:\FOXBASE

COPY CON START.BAT

MOUSE 4/s40

DEFAULT

FOXPLUS

^Z

The file must load the default mouse menus immediately prior to loading FoxBASE+. (If the you exit FoxBASE+, you must reload the mouse menus before restarting FoxBASE+.) Run the START batch file from the C:\FOXBASE directory, as follows:

CD C:\FOXBASE

START

 In FoxBASE+, start FoxBASE Central by entering the following command:

CENTRAL



FoxBASE+ does not have a mouse pointer. Moving the mouse moves the keyboard cursor. At the dot prompt, any mouse movement other than horizontal movement causes an error beep. In FoxBASE Central, the highlight bar moves as the mouse is moved. Pressing the right mouse button is equivalent to pressing ENTER. Pressing the left mouse button issues the LIST command.
