[comp.sys.att] Microsoft Word V3.11 and Microsoft Mouse

I have an ATT PC6300 with DOS v2.11, a 20MB hard disc, 640 kB of RAM and
a Microsoft mouse - all pretty much standard - which I have been using 
with no complaints for some time. I have been using the mouse software
"menu 123" in order to have mouse capabilities in Lotus 1-2-3 and this
has been working fine. I actually place the command in my autoexec.bat 
as I think that it is one of those "exit and stay resident" programs 
which remain in memory and are called as needed. 

The program actually gives mouse capability to a lot of other programs 
that I use as well as 1-2-3 and so I find it very useful. The problem
is that when I exit MS Word it kills this program and to reinitiate it
I have to explicitly run "menu 123" again. Has anyone else come across
this and is there a fix for it? Note that this program is unrelated to i
the normal mouse operation of MS Word. These work irrespectively of the
menu 123 program.

Thanks in advance,
