...Understood, but not solved, unless I buy another mouse.  I hooked my
3-button Nakai "Smart Mouse" to Kermit and discovered that it outputs the
same code sequence for the middle button and the right button, although
the two buttons go to different pins on the chip inside the mouse.
Raw deal, eh?  Too bad I didn't discover this flaw before the dealer's
return period expired.
