New technology CAPSTONE needs to discover

It's called a "three-button mouse."  I'd love to be able to use my middle
button in Witch Haven to strafe, but there is simply no option for it in the
setup menu.

Like a previous poster once said, the Doom method of control is pretty much the
standard - and if it isn't broken, don't fix it.  Tek War is too difficult to
control,  Witch Haven is better, but I'd like to be able to use my tried and
true Doom technique of one hand on the mouse, the other on the arrow keys.  And
while I'm at it, the up-arrow plus the mouse should = run.

Couldn't agree with you more about the mouse/arrow key combination and this 
goes back to Wolfenstein! This is the main reason I haven't bothered with any 
of the Capstone products since trying the demos for the Corridor 7 and the one 
with the terrorists (I forget the name). Anyway just my .02 (what is that damn 
ascii code for cents?)
