So if the icon is picked up immediately, then how do you expect OS/2 to
know when you REALLY wanted the object's menu to pop up?

Third party mice (like the PCMouse I use) aren't supported by the install
program.  So I know for a fact that you can do anything with the keyboard
you can do with the mouse during an install.  Also, I took the time to
learn what many of the keystrokes are, and find the WPS is sometimes
faster via the keyboard.

Those of you that have mice with 18 buttons should get your mouse driver
from the mouse vendor, NOT IBM.  I understand the shareware mouse driver
RODENT.SYS does some of what you want.

Personally, I think a mouse is for pointing, clicking, and dragging.  A
mouse with a hundred keys is called a keyboard, and I have found it to be
quite usefull for doing all the real work.  <grin>
