Last reviewed: November 2, 1995

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT versions 3.1 and 3.5

The Microsoft Editor (MEP) included with the Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used with a mouse to position the cursor.

By default, the mouse is not enabled for MEP. It is necessary to add the switch "usemouse:yes" (without the quotation marks) to the TOOLS.INI file under the [m mep] section. The TOOLS.INI file is a text file editable by MEP or Notepad.

To change the position of the cursor, first position the mouse pointer on the new location and then click the left mouse button.
