  (c) set up Menu-command-aliases where appropriate, to replace as many
      mouse-events as possible and QuicKeys to navigate between
      your most often used applications.  Though my rationale for
      doing it was _not_ any fear of a possible Mouse_Elbow condition
      I recently became aware that I hardly ever use the mouse anymore;
      certainly not for everyday tasks of telecommunicating with ZTerm,
      text-processing (MicroEmacs does it all from the keyboard and quicker
      than any other editor known to me) and archiving with MacCompress,
      which are the main three applications that I most often use.
      Add DiskTop for nearly all file-handling ops, QuicKey-callable
      DAtabase for small-filing needs and a properly set up set of
      other utilities and it's `good-bye ye olde mousee'.
