It's certainly there from 1.2 onward. Yeah, this is wrong. It swallows them. )Sorry for the bad news, but Intuition swallows middle button events. )So, for the time being, the only way to get them would be from the )input.device food chain as long as you were in front of Intuition. 1.4 )intuition will fix this. I will be "fixed" so that they are not swallowed, and somehow we'll geth them down the IDCMP (how many programs will break if they get a Code value of MIDDLEUP/MIDDLEDOWN for a MOUSEBUTTONS IDCMP message?). BUT in the meantime, you can watch for transitions in the Qualifier field, and simulate an "event." Just use INTUITICKS or something. I think they have the correct current qualifier set. So, Mike, I had one up my sleeve for once. jimm -- Jim Mackraz, I and I Computing "... the signs are very ominous, {cbmvax,well,oliveb}!amiga!jimm and a chill wind blows." - Justice Blackmun Opinions are my own.
