You can align your desktop pointer with your WP51 pointer in a window
session. I found this out while browsing through a Windows for Workgroups
readme file. It works for OS/2 as well.

1. Open a full-screen session.
2. SHIFT-F1 and select Mouse Settings.
3. Set the Accleration Factor to 1.
4. Return to the editing screen.
5. Move the mouse pointer to the far left edge; far right; bottom; and top.

In OS2 the WP51 pointer is a little jerky, but it stays with the OS/2 pointer.

The same trick works for a GroupWise DOS window session.
