As button 4? Or as something else? I believe it recognizes it as button 4, yes. I use Afterstep 1.4.something and the button acts almost exactly like Button 1 (i.e. changes focus of windows, pops up a menu on the desktop, etc.) but doesn't perform any of the actions that Button 1 does (menu selections, etc). It does act differently when selecting text in an xterm, too. Clicking button 1 causes only text you drag across to be selected, button 2 pastes it, button 3 selects lines and button 4 selects words (I think.. I'm not at my machine right now). -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
