  PEN FOR OS/2 - README


  Welcome to Pen for OS/2*.  This readme contains helpful
  hints found in our testing as well as updated information
  that did not make our printed publications.  It is divided
  into the following categories:

  o   General System Considerations

  o   OS/2* Application Compatibility

  o   WIN-OS/2* Application Compatibility

  o   DOS Application Compatibility

  o   Trademarks and Service Marks


  GENERAL SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
  _____________________________


  o   The MINIMUM Netbios requirements for running Telepen
      are:

        COMMANDS = 16
        SESSIONS = 2
        NAMES = 1

      These requirements are in addition to any other Netbios
      requirements for other programs that may be running at
      the same time.

  o   If you use the Pop-Up Keyboard or the Handwriting Pad to
      send input to an application and the characters being
      sent appear to have their case reversed (upper vs.
      lower), check the Caps Lock light on the physical key-
      board.  If the Caps Lock light is on, turning it off
      should resolve the problem.

  o   The Handwriting Trainer must be closed before performing
      a system shutdown.

  o   The system-supplied commands which are supported for
      gesture assignments in WIN-OS/2 are:  Send keystrokes,
      Show gesture assignments, and Show Window List.  The in-
      formation describing this in the User's Guide is incor-
      rect.

  o   Refer to the Pen for OS/2 User's Guide for the most up-
      to-date documentation about the "Send keystrokes" com-
      mand.



  OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
  ______________________________


  APPLICATION NOTES:
  __________________


    AutoCAD** for OS/2
    ------------------
    - AutoCAD for OS/2 may make a copy of a portion of the
      Handwriting Pad, Pop-Up Keyboard, or Pen Tool Bar graphics
      if these tools are placed over the drawing area.  If you
      experience this behavior, it is advisable to position the
      tools away from the drawing area.

    CMMouse*
    --------
    - Do not use the Pop-Up Keyboard to input into CMMouse
      pop-up boxes.  However, the Pop-Up Keyboard may still
      be used to input into a 3270 emulation screen even when
      CMMouse is active.
    - To map CMMouse RIGHT Button Usage to mouse button 2
      emulation on the pen, change all BUTTON RIGHT
      statements in the button definition files (.BDF) to
      BUTTON MIDDLE statements.

    Lotus 123G** for OS/2
    ---------------------
    If the Pen Tool Bar is positioned over the application
    window, double tapping/clicking on the Pen Tool Bar's
    system icon may not close the Pen Tool Bar.  To avoid
    this problem, either choose "Close" from the system menu
    of the Pen Tool Bar or position the Pen Tool Bar away from
    the title bar and the menu bar of the application.

    Lotus Freelance Graphics** for OS/2
    -----------------------------------
    If the Pen Tool Bar is positioned over the application
    window, double tapping/clicking on the Pen Tool Bar's
    system icon may not close the Pen Tool Bar.  To avoid
    this problem, choose "Close" from the system menu of the
    Pen Tool Bar.

    Lotus Notes** for OS/2
    ----------------------
    If you assign the "Maximize or Restore" command or the
    "Minimize or Restore" command to a gesture, the action
    will be performed on the outside window even if the
    gesture is drawn over the inside window.

    Microsoft Word** for OS/2
    -------------------------
    - The system-supplied commands which can be assigned to a
      gesture may not be functional in this application.
    - The options on the system menu may not be functional
      when using the pen or the mouse.


  WIN-OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
  __________________________________


  o   If you are having difficulty double-tapping in a
      WIN-OS/2 session, run the program DCLICK.EXE.
      DCLICK.EXE is provided with Pen for OS/2.  It is in-
      stalled in the directory where Pen for OS/2 is in-
      stalled.  Start the DCLICK program from an OS/2 window
      prompt.

  o   If you change your Mouse Settings to left-handed using
      the Mouse object in the System Setup subfolder of the
      OS/2 System folder, then a pen tap in a WIN-OS/2 Full
      Screen session is equivalent to a mouse button 2 click.
      To avoid this problem, restore your Mouse Settings to
      right-handed.

    Harvard Graphics** for Windows
    ------------------------------
    - Harvard Graphics for Windows may make a copy of a portion
      of the Handwriting Pad, Pop-Up Keyboard, or Pen Tool Bar
      graphics if these tools are placed over the drawing area.
      If you experience this behavior, it is advisable to
      position the tools away from the drawing area.


  DOS APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
  _____________________________


  o   In DOS window applications which process relative mouse
      motion (rather than absolute mouse position), if the DOS
      Setting MOUSE_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS is "On", then the pen can
      not be used to emulate a mouse.
