SYMPTOMS
========

When you set your mouse for left-handed operation, the left-handed operation
settings are not used for MS-DOS-based programs running in full-screen mode.

RESOLUTION
==========

Run the MS-DOS-based program in a window, rather than in full-screen mode, if
possible. MS-DOS-based programs running in a window do use the left-handed mouse
settings.

STATUS
======

This behavior is a design limitation of Windows 95.
