Nothing... that I can tell. I've tried clicking it on the titlebar
of an xterm to see if it will drag it if I move the mouse, but it
doesn't... so it's not doing the click and hold. And, everything I've
tried just makes me think it's not working at all. Is there any way to see
what it is doing in NetBSD? I know there are programs in MacOS that will
let you see how it is communicating... If anyone needs it, I can post the
control panel and extension it came with... maybe someone will be able to
figure out how to get the 2nd button to work (I'm not much of a driver
person yet ;-)) And, someone posted to me asking for a copy of the control
panel, but I accidentally deleted the e-mail.... so if you still want it
e-mail me again ;-)
