Some serial mice have a switch on the bottom to switch between the Microsoft and MouseSystems protocols, since the Microsoft protocol doesn't support the third button properly. > Another minor issue: > " ms+ Like 'ms', but allows dragging with the middle button\n" > > Is dragging the right word? I don't understand this properly (drag from > drag&drop?). Could it be replaced by "pasting" or "copying"? No, it is dragging. The "ms+" protocol handler differs from the "ms" protocol handler in that moving the mouse with the middle button down is supposed to work better. I don't have a 3-button Microsoft protocol mouse, so I can't actually test the difference, I just get that from reading the code. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
