VAXTPU SET(MOUSE) — VMS 5.2

 SET(MOUSE)

 Determines whether VAXTPU mouse support is enabled.

 Syntax

    SET (MOUSE, {ON | OFF})

 Parameters

    ON         Causes VAXTPU to recognize mouse keys when pressed, and
               allows you to bind programs or procedures to mouse keys.
               Enables the LOCATE_MOUSE and POSITION (MOUSE) built-ins.

    OFF        Disables VAXTPU mouse support.  Pressing a mouse key when
               the mouse is set to OFF has no effect.

 Comments

    The default mouse setting depends on the terminal you are using.  If
    the VAXTPU statement GET_INFO (SCREEN, "dec_crt2") returns TRUE on your
    terminal, mouse support is turned on by default.  Otherwise, mouse
    support is turned off by default.

    Since VAXTPU mouse support disables the UIS terminal emulator cut and
    paste feature, you must turn off VAXTPU mouse support to use this cut
    and paste capability in VAXTPU.

 Example

    The following statement turns off mouse support:

    SET (MOUSE, OFF)
