I need to create an app that controls the user's ability to exit the program and forces the user to make selections from a limited list of options.

I also need to eliminate the mouse, if possible, so that only key presses are processed.

Thanks
 
You can stop a user exitting FoxPro with the
Code:
On ShutDown
command. eg:
On Shutdown &&Do nothing

Easiest way to eliminate the mouse is simply unplug it! Windows will notice on startup that it has no mouse.

To really achieve what you want, you need to control Windows as a whole. This might be by setting the windows shell to something other than Explorer. To do this, you need to use the Policy Editor poledit.exe which I think ships with NT server, but also runs on Win 9x
