[. . . ] If you have another type of mouse, parameters may vary. Command Line Options The syntax for setting mouse parameters using a DOS command line is as follows: LMOUSE parameter parameter. . . Setting System Parameters 2-25 The following list describes the parameters that you can use. s Ballistic Effect (BHIGH, BLOW, BON, BOFF) -- The ballistic effect gives you speed and precision as you require them. Moving your mouse quickly lets you sweep the cursor across your screen quickly. The ballistic effect lets you select a single pixel easily at any sensitivity level. When you use a paint or draw program, the ballistic effect slows your mouse cursor when you create fine details in your drawing and then speeds up when you need to go between your drawing and the toolbox or a menu. Ballistic arguments include the following: BHIGH -- sets the ballistic effect to its highest setting. BOFF -- disables the ballistic effect. s Driver orientation (NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST) -- You can use this parameter to change the direction in which the screen cursor moves when you move the mouse. With the driver orientation set to the default, NORTH, the mouse buttons point away from your wrist so that your fingers rest on top of the buttons. The mouse's compass direction south points towards your wrist; east points towards your right; west towards the left. The screen cursor moves in the same direction that your mouse moves. 2-26 Setting System Parameters With the driver orientation set to the default, NORTH, the cursor moves in the following directions in response to the mouse movement: NORTH -- moves the cursor to the top of the screen. WEST -- moves the cursor to the left. s Sensitivity level (Sn) -- defines how fast and responsive the mouse movement is for the application. This parameter sets the relationship between how fast you move the mouse to how fast the cursor moves. The syntax for the sensitivity level is as follows: Sn where n is a two-digit number from 00-10. The default is S04. s Button orientation (SWAP) -- This parameter lets you swap the functions of the left and right mouse buttons. The swap argument toggles the functions between the two. s Number of mouse buttons (nK) -- You can specify whether you have a two- or three-button mouse using the K command. s ?-- This parameter displays the current mouse settings. Type the following command and press enter to view a listing of mouse settings: lmouse ? The following example sets the ballistic effect to high, the mouse orientation to NORTH, sets the sensitivity level to 5, and specifies a 3-button mouse. lmouse bhigh north s05 3k Setting System Parameters 2-27 VIDEO DRIVERS Video drivers let you take advantage of your computer's integrated video hardware and extended graphics modes. Your system ships with the following Windows video drivers preinstalled on the hard disk: s Trident 640 by 480, 16 colors s Trident AGI 640 by 480, 256 colors s Trident AGI 640 by 480, 64K colors s Trident AGI 640 by 480, 16. 8 million colors s Trident 800 by 600, 16 colors s Trident AGI 800 by 600, 256 colors s Trident AGI 800 by 600, 64K colors s Trident 1024 by 768, 16 colors s Trident AGI 1024 by 768, 256 color s Trident 1280 by 1024, 16 colors. The default video mode is 800 by 600 pixels with 256 colors. You can change the default video resolution in Windows Setup (see your Windows documentation). The installation of 1 MB of video DRAM provides a total of 2 MB of video DRAM and the following additional Windows drivers: s Trident AGI 1024 by 768, 64K colors s Trident AGI 1280 by 1024, 256 colors s Trident 1600 by 1200, 16 colors. Additional VGA drivers are available for a variety of software applications through the NEC Bulletin Board Service (see the following section, "NEC Bulletin Board Service"). 2-28 Setting System Parameters NOTE A multi-frequency monitor, such as an NEC MultiSync® monitor, is required to access the extended graphics mode. NEC BULLETIN BOARD SERVICE The NEC BBS provides users with information about system software and hardware (available in the U. S. For example, use the NEC BBS to obtain the latest version of the system BIOS and for VGA video drivers (see "Video Drivers" in this chapter). Use the following steps to log onto the NEC BBS. : NOTE The BBS screens contain information that you might want to read. The following procedure steps you through using the BBS as simply as possible. The first time you use the BBS, it requests information for a new user questionnaire. 1.
