The generic issue is messier. I found that leaving the wheel on a horizontal scroll bar would scroll. Down -> right, up -> left. Made complete sense to me. Then again, I'm right handed, and the way I've been taught to write naturally associates down with right. I believe that an arab, or a left-handed, would think this up/left, down/right pairing is completely backwards. The generic issue is messier. =) I don't claim to be a human-machine interface expert. -- Christian Lavoie [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.christianlavoie.com
