Hello Scott, First *I* would suggest you go into preferences and check the mouse click speed. Experiment with it and get it the way you like it. The problem that arrises (as I understand it) is that when the mouse button is pressed Amy reads one click and then reads another when you release it. Tis the way the machine was designed… (no I don't know why… guess only God and C= know) Changing the speed that you want it to read the clicks might help…. Then again….. Jamie

Well not exactly, Jamie. The Amiga reads a mouse down, and a mouse up. The two together are a full click. Why is very simple: if you push the button down, and hold it down, the machine can know that, because it hasn't seen a mouse up yet. That's how hold and drag stuff works — drawing, highlighting, "rubber band boxes" etc. Ray Lewis
