MORE INFORMATION
Prohance's POWER.EXE is a program that allows you to configure the buttons
of the Prohance mouse. This program should be loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. Load Prohance's POWER.EXE from the Prohance directory; otherwise, the
MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 POWER.EXE may be found first and loaded.
Microsoft's POWER.EXE file ships with MS-DOS 6.0 and 6.2 and reduces
power consumption when applications and devices are idle.

Prohance's POWER.EXE together, call Prohance Technical Support.
