I've done this with mintty on my machine as follows: > --- TP4scrol-orig.dat 2011-12-11 16:33:22.742741700 -0500 > +++ TP4scrol.dat 2011-12-30 00:59:46.793965200 -0500 > @@ -24,6 +24,9 @@ > ; Pass 0 rules (These rules run first) > ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; > > +; mintty > +*,*,mintty.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9 > + > ; Windows IE3 patch for 2 button systems > *,*,iexplore.exe,*,Shell DocObject View,HTML_Internet > Explorer,Standard,0,5 I assume the line for X apps would be the similar. Note that you have to put the same line in TP4table.dat, then kill and restart all the TP* processes. One of them (sorry, can't remember which) is the "parent" process and will start the others if it sees they're missing. Good luck!
