Well, I would mail, but this is really a question for the net.  I am 
working on that word processing project and I can't seem to figure 
out how to let the user press in that area outside that gadgets knob
and have the mouse button repeat.  I want to let the use scroll down
by pressing the mouse button down with the pointer near the bottom,
but now it only moves one window per click.

If there are any ideas out there, please fill me in on them...

Do you want to post the design?  I am continuing to learn about building
hard disk interfaces, that sounds like a good thing to study and build
