In the interests of providing a complete response...

The INIT is named Easy Access, and its icon looks like a Macintosh with the
"wheelchair access" logo on its screen.  If it is in your System folder at
startup, you can use the numeric keypad to move the cursor by pressing the
command, shift, and clear keys simultaneously.  The numbers 1-4 and 6-9 move the
mouse in the directions you would expect.  The number 5 clicks the mouse button.
Hitting 0 does the equivalent of holding down the mouse button (for dragging),
hitting . (decimal point) 'unlocks' or releases the button.

The 'sticky keys' function is activated by hitting the shift key five times.
An icon which looks like a magician's hat will appear at the top right.
Hitting any modifier key (command, control, shift) will have the effect of
holding down that key until one more key is pressed; e.g., you can hit shift,
release it, then hit 'c', and a capital C will appear.  Hitting any modifier
key *twice* while this option is on will 'lock' that key for all further
keystrokes until another modifier key is pressed.
