whilst re-installing P/OS 3.2 on my Pro 350, after I installed the base
system, I displayed all the installed options, and for the first time
I noticed an option 'positional input devices' or something similar. 
To me at least, this would imply a mouse, is there such a thing? I am 
just curious. I use DCL mostly when running P/OS, and see no need for 
a mouse. I havent got it, but I hear the software Synergy (sp? DECUS
catalogue # PRO180), is a window-type system...

And now, for something totally (or mildly) different. As I stated, 
I was reinstalling P/OS, the reason being that I had used the drive
in another machine for a little time (I installed the drive in a
AT&T 3B1, and after that, put it back in my Pro). I tried to install  
everything, and it seemed to have worked OK, but when I got done and
the installation says to power off and on, nothing happens. 

I get the graphic display of DIGITAL that you always see after power on,
but P/OS never loaded. Anyone have any ideas why? The installation disks
I have are write protected, so the fact that Ive installed these same
disks on about three of my machine shouldnt have anything to do with it. 
The only thing I can dredge up is that I had RT-11 on the machine, and
maybe RT wrote some stuff to the NVRAM and P/OS just never updated it, 
maybe? (unless this might be a sign that my Pro is dying?) Anyone any
ideas, hints, blatent flames for stupidity?

Thanx
