I think wheel-mice got a bad rap because Microsoft popularised them with
typical lock-in software that only scrolled their own products (thankfully
that was soon fixed) - but they *still* refused to fix their god-awful
scrollbars! So on a PC I use the wheel to avoid annoying scrollbars that
jump back to where they were if you wander too far with the mouse; on the
Amiga I tend to use the wheel for depth-arranging windows more than
anything else.

If you want scrolling you can always use FreeWheel to map mouse movements to
scrolls when the MMB is held down ;^)

Anyway, to return to the original subject, has anyone verified yet whether
it is the WheelDriver that's causing the Fusion problem?

All the best,
