I am using a KEYCAT mouse on a 16Mhz AT with AMI Bios.  The mouse.com
program is one of the first things in my autoexec.  This is followed by
PCSHELL /RT  (resident and tiny).  The problem:

Hot-key into PCSHELL.... no mouse.
Exit out and run PCSHELL directly from DOS....  mouse works.
Hot-Key into PCSHELL while running PCSHELL from DOS...  mouse works.
Exit both to dos... hot-key into PCSHELL... no mouse???

Any suggestions?
