Computer: Wordprocessor: TSE: Mouse: Wheel: Use: How to use the mouse 
scroll wheel in TSE v2.5 for DOS?

The use of the mouse scroll wheel is currently not possible, as there 
is no
event present in the current Windows DOS mouse drivers to connect to 
and
thus to detect this scroll wheel.

This because you are working in a DOS window, using DOS APIs. And 
there is no driver written
for a mousewheel detection in DOS, nor are there any plans about this 
(anymore).
(this has been confirmed to me by sources responsible for the 
development of mouse drivers at Microsoft, because being able
to use the mousewheel would have been very nice in TSE v2.5 for DOS, 
so I tried
really to find out if it was possible).

But from TSE v4.0 on, which uses the Windows APIs in the window, 
detection is possible,
and you can use a mousewheel in it.
