HYPERREZ (3-button Logi-)Mouse Driver. 2/11/1989
======================================
Neil has clearly stated his aversion to mice in the PC HyperText environment
and feels that most users would not want to use them. There are, however,
those who enjoy the feeling of constantly touching a comforting object ....
wine-glass at dinner, mouse at the keyboard, etc. The present program
should satisfy such psycho-physical needs, and possibly even provide some
hyper-people with the means for faster - longer - and farther HYPER - jumps:
The program was written for a 3-button Logi-Mouse, and I have no idea if and
how it works with any other rodent.
MOUSE MOTIONS:
Up / Down - jump to previous / next <topic> and highlight it,
Left / Right - scroll line backwards / forwards.
The up/down motion works quite smoothly if there are not too many angle
brackets on the screen; with many brackets (e.g. <REF>) use left/right.
Either motion direction can be used in lieu of PgUp and PgDn.
BUTTONS:
Left: return to previous jump, i.e. <---
Right: make next jump, i.e. ---> or Enter
Middle: leave Hyperrez, i.e. Esc
L + M: go to first screen of file, i.e. Home
M + R: go to last screen of file, i.e. End
L + R: jump to START.TXT, i.e. Ctrl-Home
The mouse menu was created in HR.DEF - this is in ASCII . NEWMENU.EXE
was then used to produce HR.MNU (via command NEWMENU HR), which is then used
to activate the mouse (via command MENU HR). The two numbers on the first
line of HR.DEF determine the horizontal and the vertical sensitivity of the
mouse movement.
The mouse driver can be activated before or after activating Hyperrez.
Activating it before will make it easier to unload Hyperrez, when no longer
needed.
USE: first activate the mouse (usually by MOUSE 1 or MOUSE 2), then
MENU HR (unless you want to modify HR.DEF first and then produce
a different HR.MNU via your NEWMENU.EXE).
Please let me know if you find the mouse helpful or not. Personally, I am
not too concerned about the mouse in the hyperTEXT part, but want the
mouse in usage for graphical add-ons we are developing. The future graphics
will, of course, have a more sophisticated driver.
