Although I'm not an expert on programming or ports on the Amiga, I do know
that when the computer is expecting a mouse input and I stick in my
two-buttoned joystick in SEGA mode (I have a QuickShot joystick), it will read
the buttons (but it won't read the input, of course).  So I assume that in the
same way you operate the mouse buttons, that's how you operate the joystick
buttons.

By the way, I'm considering writing to the various companies on support for
BOTH one-buttoned joystick (use the keyboard for those with only one button),
and also support the second button... After all, the Amiga's game capabilities
is limited until a second button is supported.  I'll probably take some posts
of this discussion along with the letter (no objections, right? I mean, we all
LOVE our Amigas)...
