I installed StrokeIt and configured it the way I want.  No triple-click (obviously) but now I've got a gesture that does what I need.  Thanks!

Programmy my middle button to do something would be great, but this particular mouse (el cheapo Dell) has a hard time discerning between middle-click and a scroll.  Sometimes I get both, sometimes neither.  So alas, I must stay away from my middle button.  Which kind of sounds naughty but rest assured, it's not.

I'd still like a triple-click thingie, but I can live without it.  I recognize it's a hard thing to detect and also many applications (MS Word) use triple-click to mean "select a whole phrase" so it'd be fun fighting that.  In my case, I only need it available in one app, and it ain't Word.  :-)

Thanks again for the awesome lead -- I wouldn't have found StrokeIt on my own.  Which, again, sounds naughty but it's not...

Regards,
Ralf
