OK.  I ran down to EggXxxx to get my brand-new-just-released-today-hot-off-
the-press upgrade for MSDOS 5.0.  Generally, I'm quite impressed.  Seems
they've learned a few things at Micro$oft from observing what other utilities
and command processors (e.g., 4DOS, Norton Utilities, QEMM, etc.) have been
using as their big selling point for years.  Loads into high memory, loads
device drivers and TSRs there too for 80386+ machines, takes up less room,
includes a command line history buffer and editor.  Great.

My one complaint so far is that when I run the DOSSHELL program, my mouse
doesn't show up on the screen.  I KNOW that DOSSHELL thinks it's there 'cause
I can click it and watch things highlight.  Unfortunately, this is mostly a
hit-and-miss process since I can't tell where the mouse is.  I'm using a
Logitech 8-bit bus mouse w/ version 6.02 of the driver on a 12 MHz 286 clone 
w/ coprocessor also running 4DOS 3.02.  Has anyone had similar problems?  The
mouse cursor shows up fine when I run EDIT, Windows 3.0, etc., and changing
the screen mode (even to graphics modes) or the color does not help.

Thanks,
