5.00

OS/2

= SUMMARY =

You can use the keyboard version of Learning Word with OS/2 in both the protected mode and in the real mode. However, to use the mouse version of Learning Word with OS/2, you must be in the real mode (at the DOS prompt).

Since OS/2 Version 1.10 has no mouse support in graphics mode under protected mode, Learn invoked from Word or the Tutorial does not give the choice of keyboard or mouse lessons, but forces the use of the keyboard course. If the keyboard course is not available on the hard disk, the following screen prompt will appear:

The lesson you have chosen is on Learn Word 1-Essentials. Please insert disk and press ENTER.

The mouse version of Learning Word can be run in the 3.x box on a VGA, using the graphics mouse cursor, because Learning Word uses EGA-emulation graphics resolution and 25 x 80 text mode when running in this environment.
