Many people write that installing Win 3.0 with the Logitech mouse
driver doesn't work...  I installed it successfully, and it works
beautifully without a glitch.  Besides telling Windows that I have a
Logitech mouse, the only other relevent parts of my installation have
been to run Mouse, Menu, and Click in my Autoexec.Bat file.

To switch subjects for a moment...  I found that running multiple DOS
windows was a slight pain at first.  I like having TWO DOS windows in
386 Enhanced mode -- one running as "background" priority.  This proved
to me a failure UNTIL I made a PIF for command.com, and checked the
high graphics test modes and such (more info on that in the Users' guide).
But, alas, I find that some programs (like Norton's SI, or BE SA <color>)
will prevent text from appearing for short moments.  Has anyone encounterred
this problem?

For those of who who asked: WordPerfect runs fine in a window under 386
Enhanced mode (although it's a memory hog).  So does dBASE III+...  In fact,
I've had two DOS windows, WordPerfect, dBASE III+, CrossTalk for WIndows,
and some other smaller Windows apps running at once (with CrossTalk and one
DOS window running as a "background" process) without much problem other
than occational disk swaps (this is with 4 megs of memory).

So, other than slight disk-swapping slow downs, and interesting screen
updating glitches, I'd say that running multiple non-windows applications
at once in 386 Enhanced mode works fine.
