I neglected to mention that Opera claims it can be operated from
the keyboard.  Win31 has a keyboard alternative, which could get
you past any sticky bits.

Before reviving a dead mouse, you might consider if you are first
desperate enough to do what it takes to get one of these browsers
working.

From a 386/DX with a "PS/2-Style" mouse port and DOS, I've gotten
NCSA X-Mosiac, Opera, Netscape and DR-WebSpyder, up and running
all with varying degrees of pain.  I've just tried to get Arachne
working and it all came back to me.

Easy enough to say "yes, you can do that".  If you do, please let
us know how it goes.
