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.

I don't know, I've never had any success in running WP51 in a DOS window- 
Windows keeps giving me a "This Application Has Violated System Integrity 
and Will be Closed" message - and I'm sure that this is related to the 
mouse, because when I don't load the mouse driver in DOS I don't get this 
message.
