I've done this with Win2K and a Smartboard. Our Smartboards have a Right
Button on the tray. For the right mouse button to map to show halo, you
have to have the VM Preferences set to 3 button mouse.

Go to the Squeak system menu (Squeak icon), VM Preferences, mouse
mapping, 3 button mouse.

I realize this may be out of left field, but has anyone ever tried the
above configuration?  We are getting smartboards in all the classrooms
next year, and I am experimenting with one now.  I think the tactileness
(tactility?) of the Smartboard and Squeak are a winning combination, but
I can't figure out how to get the halo of an object, since I can't
ALT-Click onscreen.   I've tried using the ALT key on the Smartboard
onscreen keyboard, but no go.

If no one has done this, are there any developer types with a
suggestion for a hack of Squeak?   And I mean hack in the best way
possible, of course.

Thanks in advance,
