Thanks...
I checked it and it worked and this works for xemacs, but not for
regular emacs in X. The plain ol' vanela emacs does not have the fancy
icons and all, but does have the pull down menues. the wheel-mouse is
not working in the regular emacs. Whenever I spin the wheel I hear a
"beep" signifying that emacs is actually getting the mouse event signal
(or representitive character stream) but does not know how to process
it. So, has anyone gotten the wheel to work using emacs instead of
xemacs?
