Under Windws 2000, LWW 4.2, the wheel on my microsoft mouse does not work. I can live without it, but if anybody knows how to enable it, I'd be interested. BTW: in a previous email I asked and got answers on how to make spacebar the Complete Input function. I found that there is a minor drawback to doing this - now, I can't specify a space when I use the Replace String interactive function. thanx pt

This is not ideal, but here's something the Xanalys support team told me about a year or so ago: There's a thing called MouseWheel available at http://www.microsoft.com/msj/defaultframe.asp?page=/msj/0697/hood0697.htm&nav=/msj/0697/newnav.htm The file you want is called Hood0697.exe. It works by intercepting the wheel messages and turning them into scroll messages. You have to tell it about every application for which you want it to intercept the wheel messages, so if you are producing delivered applications from LW, you need to tell MouseWheel about those as well as telling it about LW itself. If you are passing on delivered apps to other people, those people will need MouseWheel too. To make MouseWheel start automatically at startup, add a shortcut to mw.exe in your ...\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. It would be much nicer if LW itself handled the wheel messages -- perhaps Xanalys could add that to the Wish List for the next release or the one after?

On my IBM Thinkpad with Win2k LWW obeys the 'wheel' if I use the scroll feature of the built-in trackpoint, but it doesn't if I use an external MS USB wheelmouse (which works fine with other apps). I think the trackpoint driver (and maybe other drivers, too) somehow actually emulates scrolling on a lower level while the usual drivers interact more 'cleanly' with the Windows API.
