Regarding a recent posting on the semantics of mice keys.

I recently saw the IBM flat panel plasma display which just happen to
have a three button mouse.  With the tail (wire) pointing away from the
user, the order of the IBM mouse buttons was the right-hand side reverse
of Xerox/Augment/other 3Bmice. (Select was right most button, etc.).
Either this was a `left handed mouse' from IBM, or IBM doesn't know
what others have done in this area.
