I'd never thought about that. For me that makes it more difficult - while I'm right-handed, I use the mouse left-handed, as many people do who started using mice before the IBM PC versions came along. My first was the bitpad on the ICL/Three Rivers Perq; all of us in the project had our bitpads on the left except for the left-hander, and nobody wanted to borrow his machine. And the early publicity material for the Mac always showed the mouse being used left-handed. What would help for me would be mapping the numeric keypad (at the right) to note letters. I never use the keypad otherwise, and it would free up my left hand to stay on the mouse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
