I've tried a lot using "configure emacs > mouse" et similia, but with no good answer, so i've written here. If you are trying to use Google for finding out about a specific problem, it helps to mention your specific problem in the search terms. You want to have the relevant entries in the first few hits. Search terms are usually what you would find in a very elaborate index, not in the table of contents. Good search terms have something to do with the problem at hand, and are unlikely to occur in texts not concerned about the problem. Your words are appalingly bad for that purpose. If you had instead selected the most important words from your Usenet query, you'd have had better luck. If you had just posted here "how do I configure the Emacs mouse?" without further qualification, you would not have gotten a useful reply. Google is no miracle, it can't understand better than humans what you want. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
