Hi Ray,

No mouse was used. My AMX mouse died (of overwork) decades ago but as extensive use of shortcut keys is available throughout DES that's not a problem.
In fact, DES was designed around the fact that mouse users were a minority and by default the keyboard would be the only option for everyone else.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Ray,

Holding down the space bar for a few seconds on switch-on or when doing a soft reset will do the trick.

Cheers,

Peter
