Out of curiosity... What kinds of mice have you tried? Do they all use a scroll wheel (like Microsoft's), or have you also tried a mouse with "ScrollPoint," technology like IBM uses? In your research, have you encountered the lovely problem of "Internal Error blah blah FrameMaker must quit, please report this problem..." after dragging an FM scroll bar to a new location, or is your scrolling problem simply that the scroller doesn't work? I'm only asking because I have that "internal error" problem under Win2k and I reckon the ultimate source of both our problems is the same--FrameMaker 6 (probably all versions, actually) fundamentally does not know how to deal with modern, scrolling mice. When FM functions correctly with a mouse, my guess is that it's more because of a happy coincidence than because of programming savvy and good drivers.
