Thanks Fran, so if one wanted to have the scroll left and right would I
enter something like ?
Option "YAxisMapping" "6 7"

I am a little confused as to how setting "ZAxisMapping" would affect
up-down scrolling. I would think it should be "XAxisMapping" instead.

Can you explain why it is that way ?

tia for any input
