Daniel--
Nice, uh, point. I puzzled over this blue middle button for weeks,
and literally stopped strangers in the airport using TP's (a 600, like mine)
and asked them what it was for. NOBODY KNEW. When I asked IBM at their web
site, weeks later someone wrote, "it's used like the middle button of a
mouse." I didn't have the heart to reply, "And precisely how the hell do
you program it?" The TP config. thingie, from the icon in the startup tray,
doesn't even mention its existence.
So how DO you program it? Thanks, all.
