The greatest thing I've found is the Northgate Omnikey Ultra keyboard. It
can be programmed to do ANYTHING. I have it set up with sticky Alt, Ctl,
and Shift keys, macros on the extra set of function keys, and "windows"
keys set for ctl-esc and alt-esc.
Tip: you've got to boot to DOS to program it, or borrow someone's DOS or
Windows machine. Once programmed, put it on your OS/2 machine; it's
beautiful.
For drag 'n dropping, get Gibbon's GCP DoubleClick; you can set the middle
button as a lock. Available on hobbes as GCPCLK10.ZIP.
