This is part of easy-access, an init to allow user to navigate w/o the
mouse.  It's useful for people with disabilities which prevent them
from using the mouse and for make extremely fine movements of the
cursor.  Also, it allows you to use the keyboard one-handed by locking
the option or command keys.  See your system manual!
