        Copyright (c) 1987 by Cy Phillips, All rights reserved

      This archive contains a Mouse Menu for use with Nat
Martino's Directory Scanner, Ver 3.00.  Included here are three
files: MS_MOUSE.DEF, the source code; MS_MOUSE.MNU, the compiled
version; MS_MOUSE.BAT, a sample batch file, and this MS_MOUSE.TXT
file.  The program is written for the IBM PC family of machines
and compatibles.  The mouse menu will work with the standard
eighty columns by twenty-five lines display; it will not (as yet)
work with the forty-three lines EGA display.

                          Installation

      The program is installed through use of the MENU.COM file
that is supplied with the Microsoft Mouse.  The proper command
is: "MENU MS_MOUSE".  Once installed, you will see the message:
"Menu installed".  You may want to include this command in a
batch file, or add it as a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  A
sample batch file, MS_MOUSE.BAT, is included in this archive.

                          Pop-Up Menus

      Once DS is up and running, you may click both of the mouse
buttons to display the main pop-up menu.  The main pop-up menu is
MOUSE MENU.  From it, you may select the FILE MENU, the DIRECTORY
MENU, the DRIVE MENU, the SCREEN MENU, the MACROS MENU, or the
DIRECTORY LINKS MENU.  The MOUSE MENU also provides access to:
(a) the context sensitive help provided by DS, (b) to MOUSE HELP,
a screen that explains operation of the mouse, and to (c) the
Editor/Lister change option.  Two commands may be selected from
the MOUSE MENU: "Key Commands" will display the available key
commands, and "Program Limits" will display the limits of the
DS program.

      Each pop-up menu contains a Cancel Menu selection; when
this selection is highlighted, clicking either mouse button will
cancel the menu.  Moving the mouse will highlight the remaining
selections, and clicking either mouse button will execute the
command selected.

                       Directory Movement

      Clicking the left mouse button will move the directory
highlighter up one directory; clicking the right mouse button
will move the directory highlighter down one directory.  Moving
the mouse up or down when the directory modification option has
been selected will move the directory highlighter in the same
direction that the mouse is moved.  Other commands for movement
along the directory tree may be accessed from the DIRECTORY MENU.

                          Arrow Keys

      Moving the mouse left, right, up, or down will move the
cursor left, right, up, or down among the files displayed on
the right of the DS screen.  Moving the mouse up or down will
move the highlight bar in the same direction that the mouse is
moved when the display/change directory-number links,
Editor/Lister change, or macros display/change options are
selected.  In addition, moving the mouse will scroll the text
displayed (in the same direction that the mouse is moved) when
the "View" command is selected from the FILES MENU.  This
assumes, of course, that you are a proud licensee of Vernon D.
Buerg's LIST.COM.  DS is designed to work with LIST.COM in the
path set by your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

                    The Enter and Cancel Keys

      Once a command has been selected from a pop-up menu, the
left and right buttons may be used to issue enter and cancel
commands.  In all of the DS displays, clicking the left mouse
button will issue an enter, or CR command, and clicking the right
mouse button will issue an ESC, or cancel, command.  When the
"View" command is selected from the FILES MENU, clicking the left
mouse button will exit LIST.COM and return to DS.
