The Pointer Mode control panel is a special control panel for the use of the Power Macintosh 7200 only.
Should the user takes a screen shot and the pointer not appear in the captured screen shot, the Pointer Mode control panel can be used to ensure that the screen-capture programme includes the pointer.
Once installed into the Control Panels folder, it's just a simple case of opening up the control panel, and toggling the switch. However, if the pointer flashes a lot when it is placed over graphics, the Pointer Mode control panel may need to have its standard mode deactivated.
