Off topic help request,  For some reason I am having a problem getting
the right mouse button to work under Virtual PC. I am using a Kensington
Turbo Mouse and Ver5.0 driver. I tried the keyboard setup listed in VPC
and got no where (non-Apple-KB) so what are you sucessful users using?
Please email tparo@earthlink.net no use snarling the thread worse.
THANKS  Tom Paro
