Thank you!  That sounds right.  I wish I had remembered the details, but 
that's very close if not right on, because I do remember ZAxisMapping 
having something to do with it, and of course, whatever mouse driver is 
being used must have at least the number of buttons that your mouse has 
and that you plan to use (including the "buttons" for scrolling").
