Anyone with more than a 3 button mouse?

| I'm writing a new set of functions for capturing input, but I don't have a mouse with more than 3 buttons. Do the other buttons read with mousedown() or does it only pick up the first 3? If mousedown() does not pick them up, is there any other way to read these buttons? |

| Mine has 5 buttons but blitz only seems able to read 3 of them. |

| ok thanks. The documentation only mentioned 3, so I just wanted to check. I'm guessing that the extra buttons are often mapped to keyboard shortcuts anyways? |

| I'vwe had a few Mice with more buttons, however they all seem to be equivalent to other buttons or the mousewheel or otherwise programmable etc. to respond as keypresses. In other words, the Mouse is not seen to have more than 3 actual buttons. |

| mine has 5 buttons, all 5 work in games like wolfenstein. |

| I'm working on some input funcitons and have just included a possible Mousedown(4) etc. up to even (10) Which should cater for all eventualities. Even if in the end, there's no such thing, it can't hurt THAT MUCH to allow the code to prepare for the possibility ;) |
