SYMPTOMS

When you set your mouse for left-handed operation, the left-handed operation settings are not used for MS-DOS-based programs running in full-screen mode.

RESOLUTION

Run the MS-DOS-based program in a window, rather than in full-screen mode, if possible. MS-DOS-based programs running in a window do use the left-handed mouse settings.

STATUS

This behavior is a design limitation of Windows 95.
