Add basic scrolling mouse support to MYOB Apps
I use MYOB at work every day. The only problem is that it does not have scroll wheel support for mice -- I'm using a MacMice "The Mouse" model. It then occured to me that I might be able to use the mouse's software to emulate mouse scrolling in MYOB.

So, what I did was assign a command for the mouse to use the Up and Down arrow keys when you scroll the wheel on the mouse through the Mouseware preference pane. Voila, mouse scrolling in MYOB. I have sent a request to MYOB support to incorporate this into MYOB in the next version.

[robg adds: This is a good general workaround for apps that don't have scrollwheel support. It may not work for everything, but I've used the same trick with my Microsoft Mouse and other scroll-less applications to reasonably good effect.]

Add basic scrolling mouse support to MYOB

No doubt this is a stupid question, but I can't work out how to set custom scrolling options for my mouse in 10.3.7.

The basic Mouse prefs do not have anything and having installed the Mouse drivers (Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse), I am still not able to set these commands.

Thanks
Jay
