Hi Everyone & Happy new year!

I have recently acquired a 2GS. The guy who sold it obviously had a
stash of apple stuff he didn't know about because he supplied it with
an Apple Mac 9-pin DIN mouse - the type you get on a Mac Plus. The
monitor was also toast, so I'm going to have to get another one, but
for now I'll use composite. I'll buy an ADB mouse when I can find one
in NZ.

Until then, I note in the control panel that there is a 'Keyboard
Mouse' option. Does this mean I can use the keyboard as if it were a
mouse? If so, how do I enable this and what keys do I use to emulate
the mouse?

I appreciate that this may be a 2gs noob question but I've never had a
2gs before and it's a bit different to me :)

Cheers,

Alistair
