Re: Copy / Paste to / from Dosemu

[Mike R Brown <mikebr@sonic.net>]

Kind of on the same subject line here but the inverse of it.  How do you 
get dosemu not to copy/paste with the mouse button.  I have an 
application that reads the keyboard expecting such entries as function 
keys and user entries.   If I accidentaly hit the center mouse button it 
sends whatever is in the copy/paste buffer to this program completely 
freaking it out and causing un-intentional actions to occur.  Is there a 
a way to comfigure dosemu mouse to act like it did in MSDOS?  The 
program does need the mouse and can interpet the outside buttons 
correctly but god help you if you hit the center button.

Thanks,
Mike
