this should be easy: include the DOS mouse-driver in your 'normal' autoexec.bat. To be shure it is the right one: Hit START, click on RUN, enter SYSEDIT and edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT appearing there. I have my mousedriver installed there, and everything works fine in all DOS-programs. Or - wait - I think my Mouse-driver is in CONFIG.SYS - but that shouldnt matter. If it does matter, usually it is enough to rename MOUSE.COM into MOUSE.SYS and include it into CONFIG.SYS instead of AUTOEXEC.BAT. This does however not hold true for all drivers, but for the more modern ones (if modern is a appropriate word in connection with DOS :-) ).
