Hi All,

I just discovered that `mwheel-mode' no more works :-(

When I try to use my mouse wheel I get this message:

"Autoloading failed to define function mwheel-scroll"

So, I tried C-h f mwheel-scroll RET and got:

"find-function-search-for-symbol: Cannot find definition of
`mwheel-scroll' in library `mwheel'"

when I click with mouse-2 on the `mwheel' link.

It seems that the following change removed the definition of
`mwheel-scroll':

2002-06-21  Stephen Gildea  <gildea@stop.mail-abuse.org>

    * mwheel.el: Allow arbitrary keys for scrolling, add a third
    scrolling speed, fix an unwind-protect.
    (mouse-wheel-scroll-amount): Now a three-element list.
    (mouse-wheel-scroll-down-slow, mouse-wheel-scroll-up-slow)
    (mouse-wheel-scroll-down-normal, mouse-wheel-scroll-up-normal)
    (mouse-wheel-scroll-down-fast, mouse-wheel-scroll-up-fast):
    New functions.

I don't know if it is intentional but mouse wheel is now broken :-(

Hope this helps.
David

Yes, it was an unfortunate mix up.  The change should be reverted
and replaced with something else.  The fix "immines".
Sorry about it.
