The Windows95 driver, for instance, treats the "tap" gesture as a left mouse button click or drag. This is a pretty natural thing to want to do with the pointing device, since you often use the same fingers to drag across the surface of the pointing device as you would to operate on of the mouse buttons. I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions on the Microsoft Intellimouse, having never seen or used one myself. louie
