The inbuild Rodent.sys option isn't very handy, indeed.

But there is a much better way:

1ø Configure the mouse as a genuine PS/2:

++++ Knip.....Begin van het bestand config.sys .....++++

Device=E:\OS2\Boot\PMDD.Sys
Device=E:\OS2\Boot\PointDD.Sys
Device=E:\Os2\Rodent.Sys Protocol=PS DPI=640 BAUD=19200
Device=E:\OS2\Boot\Mouse.Sys TYPE=RODENT$

++++ Knip.....Einde van het bestand config.sys .....++++

Then, make use of the mse.exe ( MSE mouse program by Mark Kimes) or the well
known  Xit, the latest version 2.6 .

Both programs allow to use the 3th button at full extend. I have installed 3
cordless Logitech mouses on 3 different OS/2 only computers, and the combo
works magnificent on all of them. Go and pay the little shareware fee for one
of these 2 programs. You'll be pleased.

As Xit has more functional features, imho, I think it's the best bet for now.

BTW: before anyone could interfere: I do have both programs and I have payd
the shareware fee for both.
