    ===========
    Description
    ===========

    Telecurs (teleport cursor) is a Windows utility  to  automatically	move
    the  mouse	cursor	to a button in a dialog. Once the dialog closes, the
    cursor can be moved back to its original position. It is  based  on  the
    old Win16 utility Arrow Action, by Jarle Pettersen.


    ============
    Requirements
    ============

    32-bit Windows (developed in Win98SE, should work in others).


    ============
    Installation
    ============

    Unzip to a directory of your choice.
    Run "Telecurs.exe".
    Select the desired options.
    Press OK.

    I believe the NT family has a similar  option  (snap-to-default-button),
    which  should  probably be turned off (if it doesn't render this utility
    altogether redundant).

    To uninstall, uncheck the "Start with Windows" option  and  exit.   Then
    simply  delete  the directory you placed it in (due to the nature of the
    program, it might be necessary to  restart	first).   There  is  also  a
    registry  entry  at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adoxa\Telecurs" that you
    might like to remove.


    =====
    Usage
    =====

    When a dialog is displayed, Telecurs will automatically move the  cursor
    to	the  tabs  of  a property sheet, or the default, "OK" or first push-
    button. If there are no buttons, but there	are  other  usable  controls
    (and  it's  not  modeless), it will move to the centre of the dialog. If
    there are no usable controls, but there is a caption, it  will  move  to
    the  close button.	If there is not even that (such as a splash-screen),
    it will move to the bottom-centre of the  window.	If  the  "Return  to
    previous position" option is checked, once the dialog closes, the cursor
    will be restored to where it was when the dialog opened.

    "Disable", funnily enough, will prevent movement from occurring.  "Over-
    ride with ScrollLock" will prevent movement from occurring if ScrollLock
    is lit. If "Disable" is on, though, ScrollLock will then allow movement.

    Telecurs will currently only work with standard dialogs.  This means  it
    may  not  work  even though you think it should (typically with programs
    created with Delphi or Visual Basic - as far as I can tell,  there's  no
    way  to  distinguish between the application and its dialogs). The "Log"
    option will create a log file (in the same directory as the  executable)
    which  can	help  tell  you if a particular window/button is (not) being
    recognised.

    If you choose to hide the tray icon, simply run "Telecurs.exe" again  to
    bring up the settings dialog.

    Distribution
    ============

    The original zipfile can be freely distributed, by any means. However, I
    would  like  to  be  informed if it is placed on a CD-ROM (other than an
    archive compilation).  Modified versions may be distributed, as long  as
    the original zipfile is included (I would prefer to be contacted).
