Introduction
Introduction
Traditionally, the mouse has been used as a pointing device by CAD , PAINT, and other
graphics-oriented applications. Many software developers, recognizing the flexibility
and immediacy of the mouse as a productivity tool, are now building applications in nongraphics business and creative environments as well, with applications ranging from data
base and spreadsheet management on through telecommunications and desktop
pUblishing.
Recognizing the importance of the expanded uses for the mouse, LOGITECH Mouse
software has also been designed to be able to emulate cursor keys and implement
keyboard macros for your favorite non-mouse applications.

Introduction
The LOG/TECH Mouse can be used directly with most applications or can be easily
programmed to work with others.
LOGITECH Mouse software configures your mouse for different software applications
and helps you build time-saving pop-up menus for those applications.
LOG/TECH Mouse drivers work with all applications that use the Microsoft mouse
driver.
Your LOGITECH Mouse is programmable. This means that, in addition to using your
mouse with most mouse-based applications, you can use it with ordinary keyboard cursor
based programs to move a point or cursor on your computer screen; the mouse buttons
can then be used to position data, create graphics, or select, copy, and edit text.
And because it's programmable, your LOGITECH Mouse also works with virtually any
application.

Introduction
Introduction
LOG/TECH PLUS software provides the programmed intelligence to transform your
LOG/TECH Mouse from a simple pointing device into an easy-to-use desktop tool that
can move your workload as fast as you can think.
A simple installation program gets you ready. Next, mouse driver software gets you
running. And then you are ready to run the two programs that are a major key to
productivity - two programs that help your mouse to keep track of applications with
speed and accuracy - LOG/MENU and CliCK.
The INSTALL Program
INSTALL is the first program your LOG/TECH Mouse will use. It tests your mouse to
determine whether it is working and what kind of mouse it is; it then establishes the
"handshaking " ritual that lets it talk to your computer screen. For example, if you are
using a LOG/TECH Serial Mouse, it finds out whether to use COMI or COM2 to
communicate with your microcomputer system.
B-1
Introduction
MOUSE.COM and MOUSE.SYS
MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS driver software contains the standard interface
instructions between an application and your mouse. It tracks mouse position, gets data
from the mouse buttons, and displays a text cursor or graphics pointer on screen, based
on information from your mouse and your application.
LMOUSE.DRV, a driver for Microsoft Windows, is also included. This driver may be
more recent than the driver in the Windows package. For information on updating your
Windows driver, refer to Section 6.9.
The LOGIMENU Menu Generator
MENU, the LOGIMENU program lets you write mouse procedures for non-mouse
(keyboard cursor-key based) applications. LOOIMENU lets you tell the mouse buttons
how to perform functions that would take several steps on the keyboard, it assigns menu
options to difficult-to-remember keystrokes, and simplifies the way you move around in
your application.
LOGIMENU command language, lets you build a file with a .DEF extension that tells
your mouse how to perform. Then you compile the .DEF program with the NEWMENU
compiler. This produces a file with the same prefix, and an extension of .MNU. This
.MNU file can then either be run as a single parameter to the MENU command, or it can
be listed with the other .MNU files in the CLlCK.SRC file to be ready to use whenever
you run the CLICK program.
Several working examples of these .DEF and .MNU files along with complete
instructions on how to build your own menus are fully described in Chapter 3.
CLICK functions as the control center for the LOGITECH Mouse with your application
software. It sets operating parameters for the mouse and selects a menu designed for
your application from among either the standard application . MNU files or those you
construct with the LOGIMENU Menu Generator.
You can use CLICK as it comes, already configured for many popular applications; or
you can add your own applications and menus to the list in CLlCK.SRC, to customize
your LOGITECH Mouse for other application software.

Mouse Drivers
Two versions of the mouse driver are provided in the LOG/TECH Mouse software.
Both programs are functionally similar - you can use either one.
MOUSE.COM is the standard driver. It can be used by itself on a command
line, or made part of an AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
MOUSE.SYS is the alternate driver. It conforms to the DOS standard for
installable device drivers. To use MOUSE.SYS, one (but not both) of these
lines must appear in a CONFIG.SYS file on your DOS disk:
DEVICE=MOUSE.SVS
DEVICE=MOUSE.SVS 12
for all LOGITECH Mice, except
(for the Serial Mouse, on COM2)
I NOTE]
For information about modifying your CONFIG.SYS file, refer to your DOS
manual.
B-7
Chapter 2
2.1 Time-Saving AUTOEXEC.BAT Commands
When your installation is complete, you may want to add some commands to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file in DOS to automatically load the mouse driver and the menu
driver each time you start the computer. (Refer to your DOS manual for instructions on
creating or modifying an AUTOEXEC.BAT file.) Make the following additions to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
During software instailation, you may be asked to create a file named GOMOUSE.BAT.
To display the contents of GOMOUSE.BAT, type,
TYPE \GOMOUSE.BAT
QJ
GOMOUSE.BAT contains command lines that you can add to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file that will automatically load the mouse driver and the menu driver each time you start
your computer. Refer to your DOS manual for instructions on creating and modifying an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
If you do not want to use the gomouse.bat file, you can add the following to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
\DIRNAME\MOUSE
\DIRNAME\MENU
\DIRNAME\CLICK
where \DIRNAME is the directory where you have installed your mouse software. The
default directory created by install program is \MOUSE. Remember also to add the
directory name to your PATH statement as displayed in the GOMOUSE.BAT file.
If you are running your mouse with a DEVICE=MOUSE.SYS statement in your
CONFIG.SYS file, you can still use your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to run Logitech Plus
software automatically when you start your computer. Remember to include the PATH
statement that locates the corresponding files in your system. Then add these commands
to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

parameters identified by an * (asterisk) in the previous table.
r NOTE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ,
If you change parameters, you can list them in any order:
after MOUSE (if your mouse is using COM1), or
after MOUSE 2 (if your mouse is using COM2).
If you omit a parameter, it will not be changed. The mouse driver will
maintain the last set value, usually the default setting.
Step 3: Your LOGITECH Serial Mouse can imitate a Mouse Systems Corporation
PC Mouse:
If your LOGITECH Serial Mouse is using the COM1 serial port, type,
MOUSE 1200 58 150

Mouse Drivers
NOTE
If the application you are using tells you to install the LOG/TECH Serial Mouse as a
Mouse Systems Corporation PC Mouse or compatible mouse, make sure you set the
mouse driver to this mode.
Option A:
Copy MSC.BAT from Disk #1 to your mouse directory.
Type MSCGD.
Run the application that uses the Mouse Systems PC Mouse.
Option B:
Use the command, MOUSE PC GD
Option C:
Enter the mouse specifications for the application in your CLlCK.SRC
file and use NEWCLICK to generate a new CLlCK.EXE file. See

Using LOGIMENU
LOG/MENU lets you use your mouse with software not originally designed for mouse
use.
You can use LOG/MENU to create "pop up menus" that you can call onto your screen
while you're using your application. A LOG/TECH Mouse pop up menu will give you
options that you can select with the mouse.
You can also use LOG/MENU to define precisely how the mouse moves and how you
want the mouse buttons to function.
We have provided you with several working examples of LOG/MENU files that you can
either copy and alter for your own purposes, or use as prototypes for menus that more
closely meet your needs.
Once you create a menu source file (using a a word processor or editor), with an
extension name of .DEF, you compile that file with the NEWMENU Compiler.
This creates a new file with a format that can also be recognized by the CLICK Mouse
Control system; this file has an extension of .MNU.
B -13
Chapter 3
3.1 Menus Supplied by LOGITECH
A number of useful menus are already supplied on the LOGITECH Mouse diskette.
These are listed with .DEF extensions .
.DEF files are LOGIMENU programs or menus that must be compiled before they can
be used. See the next section for instructions on how to create and compile LOGIMENU
programs and menus.
To compile the menu for VP-Planner from Paperback Software, type
NEWMENU VP
QJ
If you do not have this menu already loaded in your CLICK file, then to load the menu
for VP-Planner, type:
MENU VP

Microsoft Menu Source files can be compiled by NEWMENU. Do not use
MENU directly with a .MNU file made by Microsoft's MAKEMENU utility.
B -14
Using LOGIMENU
3.2 How to Build Your Own Menus
LOGIMENU programs involve simple programming. LOG/MENU is designed to make
this process simple and straightforward, for beginners and experienced programmers.
A LOGIMENU program tells the mouse what to do. This chapter shows how to write
these simple programs. To create LOGITECH Mouse programs and menus, you
perform the following steps:
Step 1: Use the POINT Editor or the nondocument mode of a word processing program
like WordStar to write a LOGIMENU program .DEF, where
is the same name as the .EXE or .COM file.
Step 2: After you save your file and return to DOS, type:
NEWMENU
GD
(without the .DEF extension)
NEWMENU compiles your menu so that you can use it. You do not need to
specify the .DEF extension when you compile your menu.
Step 4: If there are no errors, your menu is compiled and ready to use.
If NEWMENU does finds error in your program, it will not compile. If this
happens, refer to Appendix A for an explanation of the error message. Return
to the .DEF file and make the corrections. Then start over at Step 2.
r - - - - - - - - - - On Microsoft Menu Source Files - - - - - - - - - - ,
When compiling a .DEF file that was intended for a Microsoft two-button mouse,
the (~ .) option is replaced by the (0 0 .). If you want it replaced by (0 • 0 ) ,
simp y add the /lrm option to the NEWMENU command, like this:
NEWMENU /Irm
GD
B ·15
Chapter 3
Once a LOG/MENU program or menu has been compiled, it can be called up by typing:
MENU Q]
See Chapter 4 for instructions on how to modify CLICK so that applications menus will
be loaded automatically by the system .
. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ,
For very large Menu Files: The menu driver has a default limit of 5000 bytes.
To produce a larger .MNU file, load MENU with a larger capacity. To do so,
start MENU but add / where is a number of thousand bytes, up to 20.
For Example:
MENU /11
GO
reserves 11,000 bytes (11 Kb) for the menus to be used.
This option is valid only when you first activate MEN U.

Using LOGIMENU
3.3 A LOGIMENU Tutorial
This tutorial shows you how to create six common LOGIMENU programs and menus.
It explains the LOGIMENU language and how each program works. Key terms in
LOGIMENU language are underlined the first time they are mentioned, and are defined
in Section 3.4.
Before beginning the tutorial, perform the following steps:
If You are Using a Dual Floppy Disk Computer -
Copy NEWMENU.EXE to a blank, formatted diskette.
"practice diskette" for the tutorial.
This will be your
If You are Using One Floppy Disk and a Hard Disk -
Create a new working directory. Your new directory will be where you will do
your practice work throughout the tutorial. For more information on managing
directories refer to your DOS manual.
Get acquainted with the POINT Editor At LOGITECH, we use the POINT Editor for all our program development.
Even newcomers here are pleased and surprised at how easy it is to learn. You
may find this an ideal time to also begin learning the POINT Editor.
Differences Between Listings and Disk Files - - - - - - . . . . ,

3.3.1 The EXTYPE Program
EXTYPE programs the LOGITECH Mouse buttons to perform the DOS TIME, DATE,
and VERsion functions.
To create EXTYPE:
Step 1: Open a file named EXTYPE.DEF.
Step 2: On line 1, type:

Chapter 3
How EXTYPE Works
EXTYPE starts with a BEGIN statement:
BEGIN LeftB, KidB, RightB
The BEGIN statement assigns LABELS to mouse buttons:
LeftB = [.00)
MidB = 10.0]
RightB
=
[00.)
These same labels are also listed near the left margin of your program.
When you press a mouse button, your program looks for the label that matches it. Then
it performs the action listed next to that label.
This means that when you press [. 0 0), EXTYPE looks for the label LeftB and
performs the action next to it. The action here is a TYPE statement:
TYPE "TIME", ENTER, ENTER.
This causes the program to type the word TIME and to "press" the QJ key twice. This
causes DOS to display the time.
In a TYPE statement, you must put quotation marks around a word you want to be
typed as a word. Because ENTER in the listing is not in quotation marks, EXTYPE
interprets it as QJ .
Three lines of your program start with a ; (semicolon). Those lines are comments. A
COMMENT is a note you make to yourself that makes the program clearer when you or
someone else goes back to see what you wanted to do and how you planned to do it.
LOGlMENU ignores any information following a semicolon up to the end of the line.

3.3.2 The EXBEGIN Program
EXBEGIN programs the mouse buttons to perform specific functions and detennines
how mouse movement affects the cursor. Here, you will make the mouse buttons
simulate CD , @!ill-@] , and ( Esc). Your program will make the cursor move when
the mouse moves 50/200" horizontally or 100/200" vertically. To create EXBEGIN:
Step 1: Open a file named EXBEGIN.DEF.
Step 2: On line 1, enter:
BEGIN LeftB, MidS, RightB, LeftM, RightM, UpM, DownM, 50, 100
Step 3: Enter a blank line by pressing CD .

Step 8: Save the file on your practice diskette or in your working directory.
Step 9: To generate EXBEGIN.MNU from your EXBEGIN.DEF file, enter:
NEWMENU EXBEGINCD
Step 10: If NEWMENU finds any error in your program, it will not compile, and will
display an error message. If this happens, see Appendix A for an explanation of
the error message. Then repeat Steps 7 through 9.
If NEWMENU finds no error, your program is compiled and ready to use. Now
move the mouse and click each mouse button in tum.
Step 11: See how the mouse controls movement of the cursor on the screen. Observe the
function performed by each mouse button.

How EXBEGIN Works
The EXBEGIN program starts with a BEGIN statement.
BEGIN LeftB,

BEGIN starts by labeling mouse buttons.
LeftB
(_ 0 oj

(00 _j
BEGIN also labels mouse movements:
LeftM
(movement left),
UpM (movement up), and
DownY (movement down).
Seven labels are listed at the left-hand side of your program. Each click of a mouse
button or movement of the mouse tells the program to look for the label that corresponds
to that mouse button or that movement.
Note:
Any label can be used to name a mouse button and its movement, as long as
matching labels are listed down the left-hand side of the program.
B - 22
Using LOGIMENU
In a BEGIN statement LOGIMENU always recognizes these labels:
t
Item one
Item two
Item three
Item four
Item five
Item six
Item seven
[_DO]
t
[0_0]
(00_)
t
t
t
t
t
t
movement left
movement right
movement up
movement down.
This means that when you press (_ 0 0] your program first looks for the label LeftB.
Then it performs the action listed next to that label. The EXBEGIN program executes an
t
0·
When you move the mouse to the right a similar chain of events occurs. Your program
looks for the label RightM. Then it performs the action listed next to that label: TYPE
0, 77. The numbers 0, 77 are ASCII code for the
cursor key. When the mouse
moves to the right, your program executes (~) and the cursor moves to the right. (More
ASCII codes are listed in Section 3.4.2).
t
(3
The eighth and ninth items in the BEGIN statement refer to the sensitivity of the mouse
or how far the cursor will move when you move the mouse on the work surface. The
eighth item indicates the mouse's horizontal sensitivity. The ninth item indicates the
mouse's vertical sensitivity.
t
In EXBEGIN, the number SO indicates that when you move the mouse
horizontally, LOGIMENU registers a move to the left or right.
50/200"
The number 100 indicates that when you move the mouse 100/200" vertically,
LOGIMENU registers a movement up or down.
In other words, if you move the mouse less than 50/200" horizontally or 100/200"
vertically, no action is registered.
(NOTEI
If items eight and nine are not included in the BEGIN statement the LOGITECH
t
Mouse will use its default values: 4 and 8.

3.3.3 The EXEXECUT Program
EXEXECUT programs the mouse buttons to display the directory for the current drive,
drive A, and drive B. EXEXECUT shows you how to "chain" a sequence of commands,
which is useful in programs with long statements. To create EXEXECUT:
Step 1: Create EXEXECUT.DEF as it appears in Figure B-3.
Step 2: Compile EXEXECUT. Type,
NEWMENU EXEXECUTGD
If N EWM EN U finds errors in your program, it will not compile. If this
happens, see Appendix A for an explanation of the error message. Then correct
the file and repeat this step.
Step 3: If N EWM EN U finds no errors, then your program compiles and is ready to use.
Click each mouse button in tum.

Figure B-3 The EXEXECUT Program
How EXEXECUT Works
EXEXECUT starts with a BEGIN statement that labels the mouse buttons. A mouse
button click sends program control toa label and does what that label says to do.
An EXECUTE statement here sends program control to a combination of additional
labels: TDIR, TSPACE, TA, TB, and TRETURN. Each of these labels triggers a
TYPE statement. Combinations of labels create different final messages.
In !0 • D), for example EXEXECUT finds MidB and the EXECUTE statement next
to it. EXECUTE then sends the program to a sequence of four labels: TDIR, TSPACE,
T A and TRETURN. These in tum trigger TYPE statements that come together as:
DIR A:GD.

3.3.4 The EXCHORDS Program
EXCHORDS is a program for a three-button LOG/TECH Mouse. It sets mouse button
combinations to perform certain functions. These combinations ([ • • 0 j , [. 0 .j ,
[0 • • j , and [• • • j ) are called CHORDS. Here, each CHORD causes a line of type
identifying the chord to appear on the screen, after which the CHORD will cancel its
action by sending a @!ill{Q) .
INOTEl
Chords do not apply to a two-button mouse, since [ • • j replaces [0 • 0 j .
To create the EXCHORDS program:
Step 1: Create EXCHORDS. DEF as it appears in Figure B-4.
Step 2: To compile EXCHORDS.DEF, type,
NEWMENU EXCHORDS
GD
When NEWMENU finds no errors in EXCHORDS.DEF, it is compiled and
ready to use.
Step 3: See how each button combination displays a different message on the screen. If
your message is different than what you have pressed, check your listing.

How EXCHORDS Works
The EXCHORDS starts with an empty BEGIN statement and a CHORDS statement
that labels the mouse button chords:
LMB
LRB
MRB
ALLB
!__ o)
!_o_)
!o __ )
(---)
When you click one of these combinations, EXCHORDS looks in the program for the
appropriate label and performs the action next to it.
Suppose you press [ __ 0]. The program finds the label LMB and performs the TYPE
statement next to it:
TYPE "Left and Middle Buttons Pressed", 3
[;iJ
This types
Left and Middle Buttons Pressed
on the screen.
Then it types the ASCII code
3
which causes the program to cancel by executing @fill-@] .
In this EXCHORDS, each chord executes a@fill-@] as its final action. You can easily

3.3.5 The EXMENU Program
EXM EN U creates a menu on your screen and then programs mouse buttons and button
chords to perform certain functions related to the menu. Here, a click of any mouse
button or chord displays the menu. Then, by moving the mouse, you can highlight any
of the menu options. Any single button click then selects the highlighted option, while a
chord click cancels the menu.
To create EXMENU:
Step 1: Create EXMENU.DEF as it appears in Figure B-S.
Step 2: Compile EXMENU. Type,
NEWMENU EXMENU
GO
If there are no errors, EXM EN U. DE F is compiled and ready to use.
Step 3: Click any mouse button or mouse button chord to display the menu and click
any chord to remove the menu from the screen.
With the menu on the screen, move the mouse to highlight your selection. Click
any mouse button to select a highlighted menu option.
BEGIN menul, menul, menul

B -27
Chapter 3
How EXMENU Works
EXM EN U starts with a BEGIN statement:
BEGIN menul, menul, menul
This makes each mouse button call for label menul.
The CHORDS statement,
CHORDS manul, menu 1 , rr.anul, manul
also programs each chord, or mouse button combination, to call the label menul.
The line next to the label menul defines the menu.
menul: MENU "Title", 8, 30, BOLD
Titles in quotation marks appear on the screen as the menu titles.
The first number, 8, defines the line number at which the menu appears.
The second number, 30, defines the column number at which the menu appears.
The word BOLD says to display the characters on screen in bold. You can also choose
NORMAL or INVERSE, or a number to indicate a color code (see your graphics
adapter manual).
The next four lines are OPTION statements. The words in quotation marks appear as
menu options:
DIR - LIST DIRECTORY,
PRINT file(s),
CHKDSK - Check Disk
:RENAME file
The word at the end of each line is the label that the Opti9n will look for. MEND -- the
MEND statement -- ends the menu definition.
EXMENU works like this: When you click a mouse button to select an option, you also
select a label. The program goes to that label and performs the action next to it.
Suppose, for example, that you select CHKDSK - check disk. This selects the label
chkdsk. The program finds this label and performs the action next to it, ie. it executes
CHKDSKQJ.

3.3.6 The EXPOPUP Program
EXPOPUP creates a pop-up menu on your screen. It is similar to EXMENU, but allows
you much more flexibility in design of the menu. Menu items may be positioned
anywhere on the screen, not just one below the other.
EXPOPUP also programs the mouse buttons and chords to perform certain functions. A
click calls the menu. A click also selects a highlighted option.
To create the EXPOPU P program:
Step 1: Create EXPOPUP.DEF as it appears in Figure B·6.
Step 2: Compile EXPOPUP.DEF. Type,
NEWMENU EXPOPUP
QJ
When NEWMENU finds no errors in EXPOPUP.DEF, it is compiled,
generated, and ready to use.
Step 3: Click any mouse button or chord to display the pop up menu. Then click any
chord to remove the menu from the screen.
Step 4: With the pop up menu on screen, move the mouse to highlight an option. Click
a mouse button to select the highlighted option.

Chapter 3
How EXPOPUP Works
EXPOPUP starts with a BEGIN statement and a CHORDS statement that causes any
click to call the menu with the label popupl.
On line four, the line next to the label popupl defines the menu you create:
popup1: pOPUP 12, 20, NORMAL
The numbers 12 and 20 define where the pop-up menu appears - at line 12, column 20.
NORMAL defines the properties of the menu characters as having normal type.
Lines that begin with semicolons are comments which the program does not read. The
numbers help you count characters and spaces so that you can enter other information.
The next two lines of EXPOPUP are TEXT statements. The words in quotation marks
appear as options in the menu exactly as they are arranged and spaced in the listing.
The quotation marks indicate the outer edge of the menu.
The four SELECT statements tell the program what to do when you select an option.
Each SELECT statement consists of three (3) numbers and a label.
The first number is the menu line on which the option appears. The option
DIR - LIST DIRECTORY appears on line 1 of the menu, so the number is 1.
The second number is the column number of the menu at which the option begins. This
is where the numbers you used in the comment line help.
The option DIR - LIST DIRECTORY begins at column 3, so the number is 3.
The third number is the length of the option, counting both characters and spaces.
ForDIR - LIST DIRECTORY, that number is 20.
PEND - the PEND statement - ends the pop-up menu definition.
When you highlight an area of the menu and click a selection, the program matches the
parameters of that selection with these numbers.
DIR -
LIST DIRECTORY, for example, sends control to SELECT 1, 3, 20, dire
The program then goes to the label dir listed at the left and performs the action next to
it. In this case, it executes:
DIRQJ.
