Yes - I saw that

But had not figured it out yet

The arrows are not quite like a mouse

How far does one click move your cursor?

Guess it can be hard to get in the exact spot but you have to to open other webpages. I have to click on a tiny X up in the right corner to close pages.

There are 4 arrow keys at the lower right corner of my wireless WebTV keyboard

They will scroll a bit at a time up and down or move the cursor in any of the 4 directions

I have 2 speed scroll keys

Scroll Up
Scroll Down

To scroll all the way up :

Shift + Scroll Up
or
Cmd + Scroll Up

To scroll all the way down :

Shift + Scroll Down
or
Cmd + Scroll Down

To change page :

Back key
or
Recent key and select from images of last 12 pages or images

It bugged my sister until she got used to it - esp. the smaller keyboard size than a PC

Now the wireless keyboard controlling a big TV as monitor and typing from across the room in a really comfy chair is OK for her
Only tricky spot to click on is the door on that ‘55 Chevy Cameo PU

I suppose I thought it went in increments, like tap, tap, tap to go each direction.

No - It is not that controllable

I thought of adapting a wireless mouse

But doubt it would be compatible and be a waste of time and money

You need to find out if it would be compatible.

A wireless mouse can be pretty cheap and you would be amazed at the control you would have to just move all over the screen.

I recently saw a MSFT IR mouse on Amazon - which often has some outrageously low prices

I’ll have to give Norbert in RI a yell

He would likely now if it would work and how to rig it without getting MSN all upset about my trickenknowledgy

They can be bought pretty cheap now. Naturally the best ones are higher. Is there a place to plug in a wired one? Even that would be great.

No input on my WebTV Plus receiver for a mouse

If a wireless mouse would work - it would send IR signals to the WebTV’s IR

The diner owner may have been insulted.
$1.5 million for a man’s life’s work? From Goldman Sachs?
Total insult...their execs take vacations that cost more than that.
