I DO have wheel function of the mouse in my WP/TameDOS/WinXP combination.
I have since discovered from the WPUniverseForum
that my wish - for Shell mouse -
is ONLY available in the full screen view,
which is an option I would not choose to use,
even though it locks the insert market to the mouse cursor as desired.
