\\     There's a tool named xmouse.exe which is part of the
\\     powertoys.exe (Microsoft utilities) 
\\     when you run xmouse.exe The focus follows the mouse 
\\     and you can type in a partially hidden window 
\\     It works on Win95 (and maybe also on NT) 

Xmouse is very useful but, you must be warned that
it may sometimes lead to strange 
behaviour of your aplications. 
I have an example, but I'm not particularly proud of it:
execute xmouse,
launch M$ Editor Equation under M$ Word, 
and try to type any formula...
