You would never deduce this from reading the info:

In your simprof, put:

mouse : com1


Or com2, or...

Yes, you can set this up to use the mouse under X-Windows one of
two ways:

1) Put '-mouse com1' on the end of your pcsim command; or,
2) Put the following in your local "simprof" file:
 mouse          : com1

In your pcsim session, include a mouse driver in your DOS image that
uses COM1:.  To actually use the mouse within your 'pcsim' session:

1) Move your AIX mouse pointer over the 'pcsim' window;
2) Press and hold the left Alt key and press the middle mouse
button.


This procedure directs further mouse movement to the pcsim session.
To get the mouse "back", use the left-Alt/middle-button sequence
again.
