1.  STICKYKEYS NOTES

On older IBM computers, such as the Personal Computer,
Personal Computer XT, and Personal Computer AT (R), some
application programs retrieve all of their keyboard input
information from a special buffer rather than in the more
conventional manner.  Applications which perform this way on
these older computers can cause a problem with StickyKeys.
If this happens, you may notice that StickyKeys will not
perform the "latch" feature properly.  Normally, the "latch"
feature of StickyKeys will only hold a modifier key "down"
until the next non-modifier key is typed.  If the "latch"
feature is not performing properly, it will probably act like
the "lock" feature, which causes the modifier key you type to
remain "locked" down until you press the modifier key again
to release it.  If you encounter this problem on one of these
older computers, there are two things you can do:

     a. Continue to operate StickyKeys while remembering
        that with this particular application StickyKeys will
        "lock" the modifier key each time you press it, and
        the modifier key must be unlocked.  This problem
        should only occur within the troublesome application
        program.

     b. Purchase the program called "keyb.com" which is included
        with Microsoft MS-DOS versions 4.0 or higher, prior
        to running AccessDOS.  "keyb.com" patches the system
        in these older computers and causes the applications
        to behave.  AccessDOS will then run properly with these
        programs.

One program known to produce this problem is Microsoft Works
2.0 (TM).  While testing with an original IBM XT running
without "keyb.com" a "latch" of the "ctrl" key with an "arrow"
key, which is used to move around inside the database or
spreadsheet sections would cause the "ctrl" key to remain
"locked".  This was not a problem when running Microsoft Works
when "keyb.com" is run ahead of AccessDOS.


2.  KEYBOARD RESPONSE GROUP (SLOWKEYS, BOUNCEKEYS, AND
    REPEATKEYS) NOTES

Some applications produce their own key repeats.  If you
have an application which does this, you must disable this
feature within the application in order to allow the
RepeatKeys feature in AccessDOS to work.  Two applications
which are known to do this are Microsoft Word (TM) and
WordPerfect (TM). In each application, there is a setting
which will disable the application from producing key
repeats.  In Microsoft Word, choose "0" (zero) for cursor
speed from the "Options" menu to disable the key repeats.
For WordPerfect, choose "normal" in the keyboard or cursor
speed setup section to disable key repeats.  If an
application has the key repeating feature and you are not
able to disable it, RepeatKeys will not function properly.

Some applications produce their own key repeats for only
select keys within the application.  An example of this can
be seen in Microsoft Works 2.0.  The database or spreadsheet
will produce key repeats for the cursor or arrow keys.
RepeatKeys will not prevent these keys from repeating at the
rate set within this part of the application.


3.  MOUSEKEYS NOTES

MouseKeys is the most difficult of all the AccessDOS
functions to implement, due to the variety of ways that the
mouse function is implemented and the number of ways that
different application programs interact with the mouse and
its driver.  Below are some notes to help you get the most
from your MouseKeys function.  Also listed are a number of
configurations or programs which MouseKeys does not work with
at this time.


MICE THAT MOUSEKEYS WILL WORK WITH

The only mouse drivers that MouseKeys will currently work with
are the IBM PS/2 or Microsoft mouse drivers.  MouseKeys has been
tested with an IBM PS/2 mouse, the Microsoft serial mouse
and the Microsoft PS/2 mouse equivalent.  There are some
third-party mice which also use the Microsoft mouse driver
and may work with MouseKeys.

In this version of AccessDOS, MouseKeys will not work with the
Microsoft mouse driver if you have a Microsoft bus mouse, a
Microsoft InPort mouse, or a Microsoft BallPoint mouse.

NOTE:  The mouse driver software must be installed before
AccessDOS for MouseKeys to function.


USING MOUSEKEYS AND A REAL MOUSE TOGETHER

MouseKeys and the real mouse can be used together; however, a
user should not try to move the mouse cursor with a MouseKey
direction key and with the real mouse at the same instant in
time.

On many applications, the user can lock down a
MouseKey mouse button, and then move the mouse either with a
MouseKey direction key or with the real mouse and perform
what is called a "mouse click and drag" feature.  After
performing this feature, the user must release the MouseKey
mouse button or click the real mouse button.  Not all
applications will allow MouseKeys to perform in this manner
with the real mouse.  WordPerfect 5.1 will not allow a
combined MouseKeys and real mouse "click and drag" feature.
Older versions of PC Paintbrush (TM) (version 1.0) will not
allow the real mouse to release a locked MouseKey mouse
button.  Some experimentation may be necessary on the user's
part.


USING MOUSEKEYS WITHOUT A MOUSE CONNECTED

On computers running MS-DOS, the software which handles
communications between the mouse and the computer application
using a mouse is usually referred to as the mouse driver
software.  The MS-DOS mouse driver software "mouse.sys" or
"mouse.com" is typically loaded in either the user's
"config.sys" or "autoexec.bat" files respectively (both files
are executed when the computer is powered on or rebooted).
Unfortunately, if a real mouse is not attached to the
computer, neither mouse driver will install itself.  This
makes sense in that you would not want the mouse driver
software to install itself and waste valuable computer memory
unless you had a mouse attached to your computer and were
planning to use it.  However, this creates a problem for
MouseKeys, since it must also use the same mouse driver
software to communicate mouse information to the application.
Because of this "non-load" characteristic of the mouse driver
software, a MouseKey user will need to have a real mouse
attached to their computer, whether or not they plan to use it

There is one exception to this rule which applies to
only IBM PS/2 computers.  A utility program on the AccessDOS
disk, called "fakemous.com" will allow MouseKeys to work
without a real mouse attached to the computer.  In order for
this to work, the user must first load or install
"fakemous.com".  Next the user must load or install the mouse
driver called "mouse.com".  Last, the user would load or
install AccessDOS.


APPLICATION MUST SUPPORT A REAL MOUSE

MouseKeys functions as an alternate mouse.  If you have an
application which does not support a mouse, then MouseKeys
will not work with that application.  Basically, the rule of
thumb is "if you can't do it with a regular mouse, don't
expect to be able to do it with MouseKeys."


PERFORMING A "SHIFT-CLICK" WITH MOUSEKEYS

Some applications which use a mouse allow the user to perform
what is called a "shift-click".  What this allows the user to
do is to first highlight some text, then press and hold down
a shift key while clicking the left mouse button to copy the
highlighted text to the current position of the mouse cursor.
The combination of "latching" a StickyKeys shift key and the
MouseKeys mouse button click key will duplicate this feature
on IBM PS/2 computers using a mouse attached to the PS/2
mouse port.  On an IBM computer using a Microsoft serial
mouse, the user will have to "lock" the shift key to
duplicate this feature.  Note, not all applications use or
support this.


USING NUMLOCK KEY TO SWITCH IN AND OUT OF MOUSEKEYS

While you are running MouseKeys, the Num Lock key is
disabled; that is, you cannot use it to switch back and forth
between the cursor pad and number pad modes on your keyboard.
Instead, pressing the Num Lock key will toggle MouseKeys on
and off.  This allows you to use the keypad both to access
MouseKeys and to use whichever normal mode you were in when
you launched MouseKeys.  If you want to change between the
normal keypad modes (cursor pad and number pad), you should
turn MouseKeys off first by pressing
"left-alt+left-shift+numlock."


USING MOUSEKEYS WITH WORDPERFECT 5.1

To use MouseKeys with WordPerfect 5.1, the mouse driver must
be passed a switch.  For example, type "mouse /v70" from the
same directory your mouse driver software is in, or have the
correct path to the mouse driver software in the instruction
(i.e., "c:\utils\mouse /v70").  This particular mouse switch
changes the sensitivity of the mouse driver software in the
vertical direction and works well if the MouseKey speed in
AccessDOS is set to 80.  Please refer to your mouse manual
for more information about mouse command line switches.


USING MOUSEKEYS WITH THE PC-DOS 4.00 OR 4.01 SHELL

If you are using IBM PC-DOS version 4.00 or 4.01 and your
DOSSHELL.BAT file contains a command line with the instruction
"/MOS:PC...MOS", remove the instruction prior to running MouseKeys.
MouseKeys expects to use either the file "mouse.sys" which is loaded
in your "config.sys" file, or the file "mouse.com" which can be run
at any time but is typically included in the "autoexec.bat" file.
The MS-DOS shell mouse works fine with either of these mouse files.


MOUSEKEYS DOES NOT WORK WITH. . .

MouseKeys will not function properly in applications which
produce their own key repeats (see RepeatKeys for a
discussion on how to disable key repeats from within an
application).

MouseKeys will not function on the IBM Dual Asynchronous Card
using older Microsoft serial mice (pre-generation 3).
(MouseKeys may not function with older [pre-generation 3]
Microsoft serial mice on any serial port.)

MouseKeys and StickyKeys cannot be used to operate the
Microsoft mouse "cpanel" program.

The ability to press Button 1 and Button 2 down
simultaneously via MouseKeys is not available on older
keyboards, because they have fewer keys available on the
numeric keypad (see manual).


4. TOGGLEKEYS NOTES

If you want to turn ToggleKeys on or off, you should do it
before you turn MouseKeys on.  ToggleKeys cannot be turned on
or off while MouseKeys is on.  You can, of course, turn
MouseKeys off, turn ToggleKeys on or off, and then turn
MouseKeys back on any time you wish.

5.  SHOWSOUNDS NOTES

ShowSounds has two options for providing a visual display
when a sound is emitted from the computer.  One option is to
provide a small visual cue consisting of one or two symbols
