Well, the mouse solution wasn't too evasive.  First I RTFM.  Then I RTFAddendum
that came with Version 5.  I tried Microsoft Mouse driver version 5.00 and
then 6.11, but still no luck in getting PC Shell to talk to my mouse.
 
Then I RTFRMTF (ReadMeTxt File) and lo and behold, it's the Version 6.14 you
Microsoft Mousers will be needing!  Found it, tried it, everything works like
a charm.  Quite a difference between 6.14 and previous version, I gather!
 
I was lucky.  What about other owners of PCT that I know?  Just what is
Microsoft's update policy for mouse drivers?  If a co-worker only has 
Version 5.00, can I "share" my version 6.14 with him legally and all?  If not,
are these things stored on a BBS somewhere for downloading?  Anyone know?
