Below are notes updating or adding to the Turbo Mouse User Manual:

- Cursor Keys may now specify a combination of more than one modifier key.  You may select multiple modifier keys by using the Cursor Key menu more than once.  Note that this now means that when set to a single key, only that key may be pressed.  E.g. if set to option, pressing option-shift will not activate the feature.  It also makes it less likely that you will pick a Cursor Key that has unexpected meaning when used with your applications.

- Note that when HotSpots are very, very close together, it may be harder to accurately point to the nearest HotSpot.

- In general, if you are having problems be sure you are using the latest versions of any extensions, inits or control panels you may have in your System Folder.

- Radius Pivot users should not rotate the monitor while the Brilliant Cursor HotSpot definition window is on the screen.  Radius thinks this problem should be fixed with their software version 2.1+.  Using the command key as one of the Cursor Keys while the Radius software is in use may not work as expected and is not recommended.

- More Disk Space from Alysis users should make sure they have version 1.2 or greater of More Disk Space.

- If you are using the Inline feature (international users.)  Always use the Roman script when entering text for Send String.  Entering text in a non-roman script could cause the text to be garbled when sent.

- MS Mail 3.00 does not interrupt the Turbo Mouse Control windows with its mail warning message.  This is normal behavior for MS Mail.  You are notified when the Turbo Mouse Control window is no longer the top window.

- Filemaker 4.0 users will have a problem when trying to use the Brilliant Cursor HotSpot definition window.  This works fine with the newer Filemaker Pro.  

- ISI Mousescreen ADB touchscreen users cannot use Turbo Mouse Startup because the ISI device does not correctly follow the ADB specification.  Use Turbo Mouse Basics or the serial version of the Mousescreen to work around this problem.

- Outbound Portable users must use version 4.02 or greater of the Turbo Mouse Startup software.  In addition, on Outbound's using Plus ROMs it has been reported that after first turning on the machine, you must use the built in pointing device before using an external device.  Otherwise the external device may be ignored until a control is operated with the internal device.
