I'm using Emacs version 21.3.50 on MacOS X. (emacs-version) returns:
"GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.3)
of 2002-12-20 on phantom.local."
I am using a Microsoft Wheel Mouse. When I click the center button (the
wheel), Emacs gets <mouse-3>. When I click the right button, Emacs gets
<mouse-2>.
On other systems (X11 and Windows), it is the opposite - clicking the
wheel generates <mouse-2> and clicking the right button generates <mouse-3>.
I think this is a bug in the MacOS X port. If this is not considered a
bug by the developers, could someone either provide an option for
swapping mouse-2 and mouse-3 or explain why such an option should not be
implemented.
Thanks in advance.

See variable `mac-wheel-button-is-mouse-2'.

Thanks. Then the only problem remaining is that this variable should be
mentioned in the FAQ.

The important question is what its default value should be. I would
prefer it to be `t' which is consistent with Emacs on X-Windows, but
there might be a good reason for the current default.
