Another question on using the mouse as the input device.

[aoifemcloughlin]

Thanks a million David, I was just on my way back here to post this
link http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/75838ffbbf64a05b/2a6dcbd0107f98f6?pli=1
to my question being answered in a different thread.

I wonder is there a way that we could enable the search here in the
group to allow for tags. I often find that because I don't phrase
things the same as another person might, I get the wrong responses to
searches, which means I can end up wasting a lot of time searching,
and then waste other people's time by asking a question that has
indeed been answered before. This however is an issue for the google
groups google search group! Haha :)

Thanks again
