I can't get this to work with my XNeXT using twm. Both buttons seem to correspond to Button1 and I can't trigger the other button functions. Has anyone got around this? I would also like to ask if anyone has an `imake' and its configuration files that work on NeXTs. My XNeXT is Version 0.9.2. There aren't any newer versions, are there? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name: Yoshiyuki "Yoshi" Tanaka | Age: 24 School:Sophia University, Tokyo Japan. | Sex: Male Dept: Electrical & Electronic Engineering | Workstation: Sparcstation1 Lab: Deiters Laboratory. | Project: NFS on a DAT Email: tana@bob.ee.sophia.ac.jp | Hobbies:guitars,synth,ski ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere is the docs it'll tell you which way you have to set it. If you can't find it, e-mail me at garp!pbiron@keynes.ucsd.edu (my NeXT) and I'll check it out and let you know.

Thanks to everyone who responded with e-mail. A set-up in Preferences to "enable the right button " get things fixed. I had read about this, but it seemed to have not worked when I tried. Well the buttons work now. Thanks to: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu maze!karl@jp-gate.wide.ad.jp cyliao@eng.umd.edu ddj@zardoz.club.cc.cmu.edu jfreem@uncecs.edu PS. This is a second posting. It seems that the first one didn't get out of my site for some reason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name: Yoshiyuki "Yoshi" Tanaka | Age: 24 School:Sophia University, Tokyo Japan. | Sex: Male Dept: Electrical & Electronic Engineering | Workstation: Sparcstation1 Lab: Deiters Laboratory. | Project: NFS on a DAT Email: tana@bob.ee.sophia.ac.jp | Hobbies:guitars,synth,ski ------------------------------------------------------------------------
