Make sure you do not run fancy mouse management software, or set it so it actually generates a middle-click event (Logitech Control Center is a known offender). You need to make sure your mouse actually works correctly because otherwise Squeak will not get the right events no matter how hard it tries.

I am of course reading exactly what you said, the instructions were either not applying because i do not have a three button mouse, or a trackpad and  whatever I was trying was not working.

I finally found a setting in the TrackBall button setting for Right Click whatever that sends, and that performs as a blue button to bring up the halos.
Holding the cntl down when hitting the button sending Right Click works finally for resizing.

WHERAS having the button do cmd-click like the wiki docs say are equivalent to the blue button, works to bring up the halos but DOES NOT work when holding the cntl down to perform the resizing.
