	LOGITECH 3 BUTTON MOUSE SUPPORT FOR QMODEM 4.2


INTRODUCTION:

QM42MOUS provides 3 button mouse support for QMODEM v4.2 communications
program (Copyright by The Forbin Project).  It is intended for use with
Logitech's version 4 MouseWare Programs (Copyright by Logitech).  There
are three files included:

		QMODEM.DEF	The ASCII text of the program
		QMODEM.MNU	The compiled menu program
		README		This file

For proper installation, please refer to the Logitech Mouse manual.


DESCRIPTION:

QM42MOUS supports Qmodem 4.2 in two ways.  The buttons and button chords
provide the following functions:

		Left Button		ENTER
		Right Button		ESC
		Left+Mid Buttons	Phone Book (Alt-D)
		Left+Right Buttons	BREAK (^End)
		Mid+Right Buttons	Capture File Toggle (Ctl-Home)
		All Buttons		Hang Up (Alt-H)

The Up, Down, Left, and Right mouse movements provide the respective cursor
direction functions.

There also is a popup menu called by the Mid Button. The menu is a close
approximation of the QMODEM Command Menu (called by the keyboard "Home" key).
With the exception of two of the original menu functions, the popup menu
allows highlighting and selection of the originally assigned keyboard commands.
The exceptions are:

		1. Scroll Back - this is handled from terminal mode by the
			Up and Down movements of the mouse.  NOTE: once
			Scroll Back is involked, clicking the Right Button
			(Esc) will return you to the terminal screen.
		2. Order Information - it is excluded to fit the remaining
			functions on one screen. (sorry about that)  It
			still can be called from the keyboard.

Of course, all original keyboard functions remain as options.


COMMENTS ON BUTTON AND COLOR ASSIGNMENTS:

The assignment of mouse buttons is, to some extent, a matter of personal
operating convenience.  Should different assignments be desired, they can be
changed by modifying the extended ASCII codes near the beginning of QMODEM.DEF
to correspond to the new key combinations and then recompiling QMODEM.MNU
with the MouseWare Programs.   For example, to change the Mid+Right Button
assignment from "Capture File" to "Printer Echo", change the line
		MRB: TYPE 0, 119
to read
		MRB: TYPE 0, 128
and recompile using the NEWMENU QMODEM (ENTER) instruction.

To change the white-on-red menu color assignment, change the last number (79)
on the POP1 line of QMODEM.DEF (just before the menu layout) to another number
chosen from Appendix A.3 of the Logitech Mouse manual.


CAUTIONS:

QMODEM.MNU is working well with QMODEM 4.2 using a Logitech series 9 serial
mouse and version 4.10 software on the author's IBM AT equivalent system. 
It has not been tested with other systems or software.  It also is a memory
resident program.  Therefore, one should proceed with caution when using
this application in a different environment for the first time.  It is hoped
that the program will continue to be be as beneficial as it has proven so
far, but there are no guarantees and no warranties given.  Nor is any
compensation requested by the author.  This one's a freebee.  Use it and
enjoy.
