that sounds like the thing.  I've never got on with touchpads.
I probably need to read more about how to use them  (rolling one's
fingertip on the pad seems to give finer control, but I prefer mice).
Anyway this should help, I've not read that link yet. Maybe more
questions later :-)

        Thank you.
