Actually the roller is both a button and a roller on some mice. Actually the only one I have tried was this way. Kind of strange. It is depressing to see that MS's solution to extremely poor scroll bar behavior is to enhance a piece of hardware. Kind of like the "windows" keys on most new keyboards. I believe they correspond to alt-dash and alt-space. If they keep this up then they will add an array of buttons for checking your mail, starting control pannel, etc. Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| If I were stranded on a desert island, and System Administrator --->>>| I could only have one OS for my computer, Neurosurgical Visualization Lab ->>| it would be FreeBSD.
