Example: Some of us diehard DOS users don't run mouse.com by default.
This was the first thing that plaqued me with many programs that have been
written for DOS32 in Euphoria. Someone else wrote a program that required
the mouse for everything, including quiting the program. Needless to say I
was forced to use the 3-finger salute. I then added my special 1-finger
salute
to the programmers neglect to include a simple if get_key() then end if.
At least I would have been able to use CTRL-C.
Oh well, I am sure I will run across several other newbies that think the
mouse
is so neat the everyone uses it all the time. I actually use the keyboard
Much
more than the mouse. I probably know as many short-cut keys as Mircoshaft
has invented.
