I've acquired a Mouse Systems PC Mouse (bus version), and I'd like to make
it grab and stuff text in the same way the mouse does it under Suntools:
namely, the left button selects the start of text, middle the end, and right
stuffs it into the input.  Has anyone seen software that does this?  I
reflexively reach for my mouse when I have repetitive but slightly-different
commands or text-lines to type in, and of course it doesn't do what I want.
I'm utterly ignorant of PC device drivers under DOS, so I'd have a hard time
writing my own, but I'll settle even for some tips on how to go about it.

Thanks,

Mark. Gooley
