I don't know if any of you Microsoft people read this, but here's a question
for you anyhow:

	- How can one install WORD 5.0 to work properly with a VGA screen
	  adapter (STB) and a LOGITECH mouse (on a serial port) ?

I just can seem to manage it. I tend to get all sorts of garbage (ASCii >127)
displayed when entering/exiting menus, of selecting colors, displays etc .. It
seems to be a mouse driver problem. Only the mouse installed on my PC is linked
a serial port (it isn't a bus version one ..), so the MS MOUSE.SYS belonging
to the Word 5.0 package won't recognize it.

Has another mouse driver been issued since ? If anyone as solved this problem,
please let me know. (there's no fun in a mouseless word ..)

Thank's

PS-to-who-i-think:    don't answer "WordPerfect is the answer", okay ? ;-)
