Hi guys,

	I am new at this so help me !!

My group just got an DS3100 and I was kind of in charge of setting
up the DecStation.  I been having problems with the mouse button
when using emacs window, this is what's happening :

when emcas starts :  left button  --->   place the cursor at the
					 pointer position
		     middle button -->	 also place the cursor at
					 the pointer position
		     right button  --> 	 will not do anything

HOWEVER....  when I press the right button things get worse

		left button    --->   same
		middle button  --->   COPIES a block of text from
				      the mark (if one is set ) to
				      the cursor to the cursor position
		right button   --->   does nothing

I am a novice at ultrix and emacs so I really don't know what to do,
except not to press the right button and use the crtl-keys to set marks.
Any suggestions ???

thanks in advance
