I know of one program that will translate mouse events into keystrokes. It comes with the Microsoft Mouse Programmer's Reference (book). It is a programming language that generates a TSR (if I remember) that converts mouse events into keystrokes. Very powerful, but it's a programming language. There are other programs around, but I don't have specifics on them. Terrell
