Distribution: Aminet

Mouse allows you to execute different startup sequences depending on which
mouse buttons are held down.  The program simply returns different codes in
the RC environment variable:

    Button |  RC
    -------------
    Left       5
    Right     10
    Both      20
    None       0



By using "IF" statements in your startup-sequence, you can choose different
actions.  For example, if I hold down my left-mouse button during boot-up,
a small menu appears allowing me to choose a small selection of programs. 
If I hold nothing down, my normal startup-sequence is executed.
