application works only in relative mode and the absolute mode option will have no
effect.

Other Options

/M#




/N###

Overrides an application that changes the mouse cursor for text
modes by locking the mouse cursor to the default text cursor. To
enable locked cursor type /M1; to disable locked cursor type /M0.
The default is /M0.

Specifies how many screen updates to skip before actually plotting
the cursor. This feature is useful for laptop computers and other
systems with slower LCD displays. A small value is recommended
because driver performance can be affected. ### is a number
between 0-255. The default is /N0.


Disabling the Driver

/OFF Disables Driver

Memory Location Options: /U, /E and /HI
These options allow the user to maximize the amount of memory available for DOS
application programs. The strategy is to move a majority of the TABLETMG.COM
drivers to a memory location outside of the 640K area used by most application
programs. The /U command moves the driver to the upper memory area between
640K and 1MB. The /E command moves the driver into expanded memory. The /H1
command shifts the driver into the high memory area between 1MB and 1.064MB.

The computer system needs to support these options before they can be used. The
designated memory must be installed as RAM. To use /E, the user must have either
expanded memory hardware, such as an Intel Above Board, or a software driver,
such as EMM386 or QEMM in the machine. To use /H1, the user needs to have an
80286, 80386 or 80486 family processor and the HIMEM.SYS driver (or equivalent)
loaded before installing the mouse driver. MS-DOS 5.0 systems should also have
the line.

DOS = UMB in the CONFIG.SYS file.
