2447.0. "Puck button 4 supported?" by TIME::BURNS () Wed Mar 14 1990 17:04

Two questions:

      o Is the use of button 4 on the puck supported (by DW)?  Running DW on 
        a GPX with tablet and puck it seems that button 4 is dead. 
        One of our applications here makes heavy use of button 4 under VWS,
        under DW buttons 1,2 and 3 work fine but button 4 does nothing (support
        for button 4 is in the DW handler for this application and I see no
        problem on the application end).

      o If it is not supported, why not and will this change?

Thx, and apologies if this is documented elsewhere. I just can't find any
direct reference to it.

Get 5.3-1. There was a problem in 5.3 only with input devices with more than
3 buttons.

Re puck and stylus: is there some way to customize the mapping from the
physical buttons onto the MB1/2/3?  Ideally there would be a way to get
"MB3" on a stylus, say with ALT-sidebutton, or the like.  That would make
it useable in applications where MB3 has a real purpose.
