Is it just me, or does X-Windows with a one button mouse make you wince? I've been playing around with windows, and using just one button just doesn't seem worth it to me. I'd rather just stick with term and wish for more buttons one day. What are other opinions? -- ccastgw@pyr.gatech.edu GREG WILLIAMS "Barbaric Penguin" Disclaimer: The usual stuff.

The left arrow key is the middle button and the right arrow key is the right button. I haven't actually tried this out yet, but if this will work, then maybe its not such a waste after all.

You are presumably aware that the other two mouse buttons can be generate by the left and right arrow keys (for center and right button, respectively)? That should make it significantly more useable. > >-- >ccastgw@pyr.gatech.edu >GREG WILLIAMS "Barbaric Penguin" >Disclaimer: The usual stuff. Opinions: MINE, ALL MINE! (greedy evil chuckle) David W.
