I guessed as much. For now, I wont use that feature, but try to
learn the keystrokes instead. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't
a problem with my setup.

Yes, it does. Thanks for that bit of information. Having it the right
TAB key seems a little bit inconvenient though, as I use the mouse
with my right hand...

I doubt xemacs would have it compiled it, otherwise, it would
need to know the configuration for my mouse.

I didn't see a command line parameter. I haven't seen any documentation
either, but will keep looking.
