Re: Mouse wheel is now supported in vDos-lfn

[J R FOX jr_fox@xxxxxxxx]

What mouse are you using, Harry ? 
I've been using the Logitech Trackman cordless model for quite some time.  Left / Right buttons, center wheel, trackball.  The wheel does _not_ tilt . . . and I don't recall seeing mice where it did.  But I stopped looking at other models when I settled on this one, which has suited me perfectly.

Wengier,

Works perfectly! And because I have use LU and LD, it behaves that way.

My next request is for tilting the mousewheel left or right (for those who
have a mouse that can do that) to move the cursor left and right. I made a
log of what happened when I did the tilts. I did 3 rights then 3 lefts) but
it doesn't look auspicious. I may have also moved the wheel a little up and
down while tilting it.

Come to think of it, I can probable get Autohotkey to take care of this.

Regards,
Harry
