Hum, it look like mouse-wheel-mode is set to nil in your copy of Emacs. Try put this in your .emacs: (mouse-wheel-mode t) Charles -- "Computers may be stupid, but they're always obedient.

(I deliberately wrote "The former works", not "The former is correct" :).) Seriously though, the Minor Mode Conventions say that `t' should be OK: The command should accept one optional argument. If the argument is `nil', it should toggle the mode (turn it on if it is off, and off if it is on). It should turn the mode on if the argument is a positive integer, the symbol `t', or a list whose CAR is one of those. It should turn the mode off if the argument is a negative integer or zero, the symbol `-', or a list whose CAR is a negative integer or zero. The meaning of other arguments is not specified. -- Johan Bockgård ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

The latter is wrong. Thanks, you learn something new everyday. To tell you the truth, I never had to set it up manually. It worked out of the box with CVS Emacs. I got confused because mouse-wheel-mode is both a function and variable. I just glanced over the variable docstring without reading it fully. :-( Charles -- "The IETF motto is 'rough consensus and running code'" -- Scott Bradner (Open Sources, 1999 O'Reilly and Associates) [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 188 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 152 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

You mean the "list" that starts with a warning like: ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom. ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful. Please don't recommend such things to others: Either use M-x customize-variable RET mouse-wheel-mode RET or add (mouse-wheel-mode 1) in your .emacs.
