   dBsee 4 allows you to take advantage of the mouse in all the operating
   environments. dBsee handles two type of mouse cursors: text-mode and
   graphical. The text-mode cursor is a colored block moving row- and
   column-wise, while the graphical mouse cursor is shaped like an arrow and
   moves pixel-wise. The selection is made by setting the MouseVGA
   parameter in the [dbsee] section of the DBSEE.INI file (directory
   \DBSEE4\BIN). The mouse is also available in all of the environments of
   the generated application.

   With the mouse, it is possible to execute a majority of the operations
   that can be executed with the keyboard. The use of the mouse is logical
   and allows you to avoid remembering the meaning of many keys.

   dBsee displays four icons in the lower-right part of the screen, that
   allow to: call the help, view the active keys, access the properties, or
   quit the environment, respectively. (See also paragraph The User Info
   line)

   We will now show a list of all the operations that can be executed with
   the mouse in the various operating environments.

In the definition environment

   In the different definition environments present in dBsee it is possible
   to select an element, modify it, delete it or create new elements.
   Examples of definition environments are the Dictionary environment for
   the definition of the data dictionary and the Application environment
   for the definition of the menu labels.

   Positioning             The left button allows to highlight the file (Data
                           Dictionary) or the menu label (Application)
                           desired.

   Select                  The right button click confirms the selection of
                           the current row. Pressing the right mouse button
                           corresponds to the pressing of the button
                           currently highlighted.

   Modify                  A double left click opens the definition frame of
                           the selected element.

   Menu and closing        In the upper left corner of each definition
                           environment a system menu box is displayed. When
                           clicked, displays the system menu of the object.
                           The system menu contains some pre-defined options
                           that allow to create, modify, or delete the
                           entities to which the environment refers. A double
                           click on the same symbol will close the definition
                           environment.

   Specific definition environments are the definition frames in which you
   can define the various parameters of the elements that make up the
   application (objects, controls, files, fields...). In the definition frame
   the parameters of the elements are displayed allowing the user to modify
   them. In this environment the mouse can be used to move from one parameter
   to the next.

In Design mode

   Sizing                  Clicking the left button on one of the four
                           corners of an object, and moving the mouse while
                           keeping the button clicked, will cause the
                           selected element to be resized.

   Moving                  Clicking the left button on the top row an object,
                           and moving the mouse while keeping the button
                           clicked, will cause the selected element to be
                           moved. Other controls are moved by clicking on any
                           point in the control.

   Menu and closing        The System Menu box in the upper-left corner of
                           the object allows to open the object's system
                           menu. The system menu contains some pre-defined
                           options, for instance to move or resize the
                           object. A double click on the same symbol closes
                           the design session on the object.

   Modification            A double click on the control opens the mask for
                           the modification of its parameters.

   Insertion               A double click on any point of the object that is
                           not occupied by a control will open a menu that
                           allows you to insert a new control.

   Multiple selection      Clicking the left button on a free area of an
                           object, and moving the mouse while keeping the
                           button clicked, will cause all elements inside the
                           marked area to be selected. The selected controls
                           can be moved later.
