   2. Enter your login credentials.
   3. Click the ellipsis button for the Xconfig portion.
   4. Select the Xconfig profile and click Modify.

2. If Xemacs does not respond to actions of a scroll button on a wheel mouse you will need to configure this option through the ".emacs" file in your user's home directory:

   Add the following to your user's ".emacs" file:

   (mwheel-install)
   (setq mwheel-follow-mouse t)
