Contrary to popular belief, you can leave your mighty mouse at work.
You just have to make sure it stays locked in a drawer like I do--and
leave a cell phone on your desk as a decoy for anyone who just wants
to steal something indiscriminately.

Dear All,
Sorry for the slightly off-topic subject.
We have recently bought a few iMacs for crystallography. I'm not
keen on
the supplied "mighty mouse" so I have switched to using a microsoft
3-button wheel mouse. I would like to configure it so that it
behaves as
it would with other unix systems such as RH Linux.
i.e.
(1) double-clicking with LH button on a file name selects ALL of the
file name, not just up to the first full stop.
(2) clicking the scroll wheel pastes the selected text AND it can be
done multiple times without re-selecting.
(2) I would like these functions to work in terminal windows, the
ccp4i
gui and web pages (and probably a few other things I haven't
thought of
yet!) AND be able to transfer the selected text between applications.
I have installed the microsoft intellipoint drivers that seem to give
more control over configuring the various buttons through "system
preferences", but I still can't get what I want.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Dave Lawson
