Invoke screen saver manually

Question

Is there a way that I can start my screen saver manually?  Preferably with a mouse gesture.  There used to be a shareware program that would invoke the screen saver when I moved the mouse to the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

Thanks in advance... Bob

I guess your reply means that you cannot answer my question.  Hopefully someone WILL be able to answer it as that is why I posted it.
