[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Mouse doesn't work with PCTools 5.5 resident

My friend has a 286 AT and has been trying to install PCTools ver 5.5.	
He also has a logitech compatible mouse and has been having a difficult
time getting the two to work together.  If PCSHELL is run from the DOS
command line, the mouse runs fine.  If it is invoked using the hot-key
(resident mode) then the mouse does not work.  If it is invoked using the
hot-key while running the shell from the dos prompt (mouse working) then
the resident version recognizes the mouse.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
