A client of ours would like to avoid using a mouse to access our X
application.  I have not seen any examples of how this can be done.
This application has not been written in-house, so we can't change it.

I know that OS/2 and MS/Windows has provisions for users without
these types of pointer devices, i.e. use of the keyboard and arrow
keys.

Is there any such method in X11/OpenWindows that can accomplish
this goal.  Is there any way of remapping the keyboard to appear to
applications like a mouse.

Thanx in advance for your response,
