Paul Ratcliffe posted a simple solution to this problem: copy the following lines into a text file with the name mouseobj.cmd (or whatever.cmd), then execute the script from the command line or simply by double-clicking the icon.
/**/
call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs', 'REXXUTIL', 'SysLoadFuncs'
call SysLoadFuncs
class = 'WPMouse'
title = 'Mouse'
location = '<WP_CONFIG>'
setup='NOCOPY=YES;NODELETE=YES;NOPRINT=YES;
DEFAULTVIEW=SETTINGS;OBJECTID=<WP_MOUSE>;'
call SysCreateObject class, title, location, setup, 'R'
Please note that the "setup=..." line, which is wrapped here due to space limits, must be joined back to form a single line of text.
Many thanks to Dario Ragazzini for the suggestion!
