Changing the mouse tracking rate
You can adjust the correlation between mouse and pointer movement, called
mouse tracking, so that the pointer moves the same distance on the screen as
the mouse moves, or so that the pointer moves up to two times as far on the
screen as the mouse moves, depending on how fast you move the mouse.
The mouse tracking rate you choose in the Apple IIe Option Panel is in effect
only while the computer is in the Apple IIe environment. When you switch to
the Macintosh environment, the mouse tracking rate is determined by the rate
setting in the Macintosh Mouse control panel.
The mouse tracking rate in the Apple IIe Option Panel is preset to the rate
setting in the Macintosh Mouse control panel.
