Re: [9fans] three sets of windows

["Karljurgen Feuerherm" <kfeuerherm@wlu.ca>]

I'm curious about the 3-button mouse... (haven't seen one for a long while, but seems like it might be worth getting one.)

are there restrictions on it? i.e. should not be USB, or whatnot? any other details one should know?

(I'm in a similar position to our friend Bill, here. Still working on a clean installation.)

thanks

The three windows side by side are the display of the program "acme". 
You can place the mouse pointer in the middle window and use the page-up 
and page-down keys. Or put the mouse pointer in the scrollbar on the 
left. The scrollbar works like very old versions of xterm; button 1 
scrolls up, 3 scrolls down, or you can drag the slider with button 2. If 
you have a 2-button mouse, try shift-button1.
