  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24
  25 ;; This code will enable the use of the infamous 'wheel' on the new
  26 ;; crop of mice.  Under XFree86 and the XSuSE X Servers, the wheel
  27 ;; events are sent as button4/button5 events.
  28
  29 ;; I for one would prefer some way of converting the button4/button5
  30 ;; events into different event types, like 'mwheel-up' or
  31 ;; 'mwheel-down', but I cannot find a way to do this very easily (or
  32 ;; portably), so for now I just live with it.
  33
  34 ;; To enable this code, simply put this at the top of your .emacs
