Add basic scrolling mouse support to MYOB

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.]
