I'm not sure if this applies to your mouse or not, but I have a logitech
serial/ps2/HIREZ mouse.  It comes with a program called logimenu on the 
software disk.  Logimenu when coupled with a special compiler called 
newmenu allows you to very easily write drivers for specific software
applications.  ( The one for WordPerfect 5.0, included with mouse is 
excellent ).  YOu can define what the mouse buttons and motion will
do, and even have pop-up menus.  I understand that all mice come with
software like this, just the Mouseware programs that come with the 
logitech HIREZ mouse make it easier to do.

If your documentation tells you how to do this then simply redefine your
mouse buttons to the PageUP and HOME keys.

To do this with logimenu, I would have to write a .def file that defines
the mouse actions and attributes ( Baud, Ballistics etc. ) I want.  Then
compile it using newmenu, which creates a .mnu file.
	eg. solitile.def  ---->  solitile.mnu
then run the menu by typing logimenu solitile just before running solitile.


I'm not sure if this helps but you can check your mouse docs.
