Has anyone ever tried a pointing device (i.e. mouse) operated by foot?  This
might be the answer for word processing...users could use the "foot-mouse"
to move the cursor, and mark text, while keeping hands on the keyboard.

If the mechanical hurdles of dirt, and durability could be overcome, the
device would be fairly simple and inexpensive to produce.
