Can anyone suggest how to setup my computer
so that I can "program" a key on my keyboard
to do exactly the same thing as clicking
on the mouse buttons? Ideally this would be
independent of the program I'd be running.

The purpose of this is to save the small finger joints in the hands when doing thousands of "clicks" a day designing CAD.

If you were a hardcore DOS user this would
make LOTS of sense to you as you remeber how
you could scream on the keyboard before the point and click era extincted the fastest way
to interface with the computer.

Thanks!!

I have not yet found a foolproof way of doing what you want to do. In many situations, the Enter key will do what one or two clicks of the left mouse button does, depending on the context. For some software you can assign macros to keys to get results better than the mouse. See my post http://www.helponthe.net/tsgbb/Forum14/HTML/000097.html for an example.
