Cool.

Thanks Quentin!

The only problem now, is that the third button STILL binds to the
right hand control key no matter WHAT i use in the adb_button
directive.

Without an extended keyboard attached, there is NO third button (no
right hand control button on my laptop) (very annoying!).

Any more help out there?

Thanks,
Blair.
