Under single TOS BubbleGEM can be run as a desk accessory by renaming BUBBLE.APP to BUBBLE.ACC and copying it to the root directory of your boot partition, then rebooting.
BubbleGEM-aware programs send a message and pass a character string to BubbleGEM if the user clicks with the right mouse button on an icon, button or window area. BubbleGEM then displays the character string, formatted in a cute speech bubble which remains displayed until the user moves the mouse pointer to another window area, or until the user clicks again to burst the bubble.
Optionally bubbles can be displayed by clicking and holding down the right mouse button; in this case the bubble bursts as soon as the button is released again.
While a bubble is open two keyboard shortcuts are active:
<CTRL C> : The content of the bubble is copied to the clipboard and
the bubble remains open.
<CTRL X> : The content of the bubble is copied to the clipboard and
the bubble is closed.
