In reply to various comments about how X uses the one-button mouse in A/UX:

While it is true that the arrow keys on the keyboard are mapped into the
mouse buttons, you should note the following:

   The OPTION key changes the translation of the arrow keys such that X
   interprets them as arrow keys.

This turns out to be a fairly reasonable solution to the one-button mouse
problem, since X would not otherwise have any use for the OPTION key.  CONTROL
and SHIFT are their usual selves, and COMMAND is the META key.

I am using A/UX X as we speak, so there's just a chance I am at least
partially right about this. :-)
