[OT] Pigs Fly

[Martin Baxter]

It's worth remembering that since system 8, Mac single-button mouse 
users can control-click to get the equivalent of a right mouse-button 
click. Revolution handles this fine, treating both actions as a mouse 
button 3 event. If you use a 2 button mouse on a mac you can 
right-click. With a one button mouse you just control-click to get the 
same result. So there is usually no real need to duplicate the 
functionality.
Still it can be a pain when writing the documentation.
